It sounds like the issue here really is the PG processes bouncing
between the cores, which I do think is a Linux issue, though perhaps PG
could somehow "encourage" Linux to be better about this somehow..

This isn't specific to Linux, however, under Windows there's something
similar and they encourage the same kind of manual setting of things
like IIS processes to CPUs..
