Hi guys

  New to the forum and process lasso ;). Curious about something. Would Itunes benefit from setting to cpu affinity 0 on a dual core machine?

It could, but most likely it won't have much of an impact. The scheduler will already try to keep threads on the same core, though will rotate through the cores periodically to balance the load. Thus, forcing the process to a particular core isn't going to achieve anything useful for most people. In certain situations it might be helpful, but generally the answer is NO.
