Aaron,

Do you still see high variance in terms of workload throughput that
was a problem with the previous version?

Probably "samecpu" instead of "samecore" will be more accurate.
I think task_cpu(a) and task_cpu(b)
can be different, but still belong to the same cpu core.

Should this be strictly ">" instead of ">=" ?

Should use "<" ?
