Sad but true:

“I will speculate that today's single-threaded applications as actually used in the field could see a performance boost for most users by going to a dual-core chip, not because the extra core is actually doing anything useful, but because it is running the adware and spyware that infests many users' systems”

-Herb Sutter in the March 2005 edition of Dr. Dobb's Journal. ¶ 12:29 AM
