	Wait, does the scheduler change the tasks processor while the task is
running? I suppose there is some advantage to that, if you have lots of tasks
starting and ending, it can do a better job of balancing the load, but the
cache problem kinda kills that... is there any way to tell the kernel not to
migrate them like this?
