The problem is CPU's make their own indepedant scheduling decisions so CPU
B decides 'I need to run this' and has to signal CPU A to save the FPU
context and wait for it. I tried this in 2.0.x and it was much slower for
most things I tried. Partly perhaps because I should have played with
the scheduler weightings in hindsight
