You should leave it alone. For general use the computer is far better at
deciding how to spend its resources than we are.
Ye Gods !!! With this attitude we wont learn anything !
Just as an example, If I have downloaded a huge RAR file, and I want to unpack it but still use the computer ( Normally it tie up all the resources until its fininshed ) I would set affinty to one of the processors and allow the other one to carry on with everything else.
