Worker cpu affinity for 8 cores/cpus

[Chris Savery]

There's a decent explanation of it here: 
http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/6799

It is complex but I think if can have worthwhile performance impacts as 
without affinity the cache memory gets invalidated as processes move 
from core to core. Avoiding that has got to have an effect. I haven't 
seen any real benchmarks though.
