The answer to my question - how to pin a process to a cpu was best 
answered with pbind - give it a pid (already started) on the commandline 
and a cpuid (from mpstat) and it will bind any of your own processes to 
a given cpu - root not needed.

I got another set of answer regarding cpu sets; if I had a really big 
machine and wanted to setup an encoding farm that's probably how I'd do 
it, but pbind solved my problem.

Thanks again to the sunmanagers.
