Let's go with that then. What would be a good place for this? In the FAQs? A 
new section of the multithreading module? In the documentation of the 
MultithreadInfo class? A comination of these?

Also, feel free to suggest some text :-)

I do think that this will eventually come up more often anyway. Large SMP 
machines with many cores are not going to disappear, but I'm happy to go with 
the approach of just documenting things for now and seeing what comes back 
over time.

That's a good point as well. Mind to open a report with them?
