You're right. I just verified with a simple CPU heavy application that it does tend to stay on a single core. I think I've noticed migration in the past with compilers, which tend to use more I/O.

SMP?

This was a well-known failure mode with - I think - NT4.

If you were running a single heavy-CPU process the scheduler would make it jump from CPU to CPU as it tried to balance the load ... :-)

Cheers,
Wol
