Well, appart the fact that B_MAX_CPU_COUNT is currently 8 for x86 (for
compatibility with BeOS) but that should be easily changeable, I'm not
sure Haiku would scale that well on 48 cores, but it'd be an
interesting test...
Now about what to show, dunno, you might have a look at ffmpeg, they
have some support for threaded video decoding, though I'm not sure our
Media Kit wrapper supports it yet.
Maybe showing VideoCubes with each video being decoded by 8 cores... :p
