Indeed a good question, and something I've wondered about before. My answer is I don't know. :) When I did Google it before (some years ago), the most frequent answer I got was that the scheduler is more intelligent than the computer user, so trust what it is doing. The other frequent answer I got was to do with logical cores versus physical cores (ie: hyperthreading). Apparently the physical cores get more priority over the logical ones, and the logical ones only have about 30% of the processing power of physical ones. Once again the scheduler load balances the processes for overall good performance and power consumption. How true all this is - I honestly don't know. But from what I remember, various website listed these answers.
