Ok that sounds good. How is it decided which app is running on which
core and can a running app (realtime audio) switch core?
scheduling of processes on an SMP system is essentially completely
transparent to the user and the processes.
there are some tricks in modern linux systems that can be used to
circumvent the normal decisions of the operating system's scheduler, but
in general these are not going to be useful unless you really, really
know what you are doing.

Possibly I'm missing something here, but I was under the impression that
to _really_ utilize a dual core system you need to use Jackdmp.
Jackd will only use one core. The other core won't be without work
though, there's plenty of work to redraw gui's and what not.
Someone do correct me if I'm wrong.
