I had about 5 independent suggestions of "-sp" and I agree that it is much better than "-fc". But another idea that came out of these conversations was "1proc" which also ticks all the boxes (only being a tiny bit longer than "e10s") and being even clearer than "-sp". I think I'll go with that one. Thanks to everyone for all the feedback!
