Correct.

Weird. There must be something wrong with the extra scripts. Or
perhaps something breaks when running two many instances. Try looking
at the logs, or starting them manually.

That's probably only because something prevents more than two
instances to launch.

I think you should just forget about this :) Just do the things
normally, and it'll be fine. It's only in extreme cases that you'll
lack CPU on such cores. Moreover, there is currently very little you
can do about this: if you can split a script in two and run it in
separate instances, do it and the instances will take one core each;
otherwise, you can't do much.

Have fun,
