I am sure this may be the case in some applications, but in very heavy
processing applications, I would have to think that the margin of overhead
would start to grow. Especially in cases where the processor was being
utilized at 100% of its capacity (though, admittedly, this is very rare with
modern 1+ ghz processors).
