For a while CSS would be all jittery unless I pinned it to just one 
core, and then it would run fine. (They eventually fixed that.)

The trouble is, when I launch The Settlers, it crashes in about 4 ms - 
far too quick for me to open Task Manager and fiddle with the affinity 
settings. Unless there's some how to specify such settings before a 
program starts?
