Slightly offtopic: In my personal experience, Linux will always
distribute threads over available cores, whether this makes any sense
performance-wise or not (libeio for example works much faster if you pin
all threads on the same cpu).
Some other systems do indeed not do that, and in theory, POSIX threads
even have an option (scheduling scope) to ask for this behaviour, but it's
not implemented widely.
