The man page for kse would seem to indicate that I can use it to get  
processor affinity?

But older mailing list articles and the kse page itself are all circa  
2003. So I'm not sure if I'm going to get into trouble trying to use  
kse. And some comments on the web imply it won't necessarily give me  
true processor affinity anyway?

Moving to 7.0 is not an option for me at the moment. Is it possible to  
get thread/processor affinity in 6.x and what is the best way?

Cheers,
Eric
