That may be true for applications that aren't particularly demanding,
but tends to fall down with more demanding applications.

1)    Writing a multithreaded application does not guarantee that different
          threads go on different CPUs (assuming the CPU's are even
          there :-)

2)    As the demands of the application go up (eg allowed processing time
          decreases, data throughput increases), it is more likely that
          automated schedulers will not help achieve required performance,
          even with multiple CPUs.
