I wish it was that easy, say I run a query against my database that takes 10 seconds, how can I slice that? Or take a trivial implementation of scrolling jpegs like appletv, you need to load the images in a background thread otherwise you get jitter. My current machine has 2 cores, 2 threads is actually going to improve performance.
