I like what I see. It could be the start for the means of managing a single
socket's queue of processes. You do mention that this won't really scale
beyond roughly 8 cores. I would love to see you extend this with a 2D
array of weights that can be populated by various means (run-time testing,
I'm sure you did. Did you test it with one patched and one not?
