Actually, I think it is included -- I think I remember adding it. Which 
is not very useful if what you are saying is true. Aren't there 
multicore CPU modules where the cores are more independent, e.g. the 
early slap-two-CPUs-in-a-single-package type multicore CPUs? I seem to 
remember that the Core 2 duo also allows independent frequency scaling 
for the cores, doesn't this setting do anything in that situation?

Cheers,
Bart
