A more significant problem shows up with my quad-core system. As you 
know, it has 4 execution cores. But it also has hyperthreading, which 
makes Windows pretend that it has 8 cores. But it doesn't. Which means 
that even when all 4 cores are working at maximum capacity, Task Manager 
claims I'm only using 50% CPU. This is terribly misleading...

(OTOH, Windows doesn't track how much CPU power is /really/ being used, 
because there would be way too much overhead.)
