you won't be able to use all cpu power for dsp processing

pd does work on multiprocessor machines, but it is designed for
single-processor machines, so it will gracefully ignore any other
processors ...

it's like a car with two engines... instead of both engines driving the
wheels, one engine is driving the wheels and one the window lifts and
windscreen wipers :)

Most of the trouble in this world has been caused by folks who can't
mind their own business, because they have no business of their own to
mind, any more than a smallpox virus has.
