Its for Quad Core users. You can set the AffintyMask to allow the game and OS to use multi cores. I have tried running it on just one of the 4 cores, or default off with the ; in to turn it off.
I get the best FPS and NO SCREEN FREEZE when I use all 4 cores.
I found that VISTA 64 runs the multi cores set up the best vs my old XP Pro.
Here is a post I read before I ever tested this.

Bitmask: 00000000000000000000000000000000 = Decimal 0
Processor affinity is off, and the load is distributed across all available processors.
Bitmask: 00000000000000000000000000000001 = Decimal 1
Processor 1 selected. The process will only run on processor 1.
Bitmask: 00000000000000000000000000000010 = Decimal 2
Processor 2 selected. The process will only run on processor 2.
Bitmask: 00000000000000000000000000000011 = Decimal 3
Processors 1 & 2 selected. The load is distributed across both processors, effectively the same as setting 0 above for Dual cores.
Because 0 puts the load across all processors and 3 puts the load on processor 1 and 2, they are essentially the same thing for Dual core CPUs.
For Quad core CPUs you can use more values:
Bitmask: 00000000000000000000000000000100 = Decimal 4
Processor 3 selected. The process will only run on proces

Processor 4 selected. The process will only run on processor 4.
And any combo between 0 and 15, for example:
Bitmask: 00000000000000000000000000000101 = Decimal 5
Processor 1 and 3 selected. The load is distributed across processor 1 and 3.
Bitmask: 00000000000000000000000000001111 = Decimal 15
Processor 1, 2, 3, and 4 selected. The load is distributed across all processors, 1, 2, 3, and 4.
This is a post from MaxMhz a while back in response to a question as to how to increase performance on my quad core rig. Please note that forcing Il2 to run on anything above 2 cores does not give me any better performance, HOWEVER running on two cores instead of one core gave me much better performance on the Black Death track, a 36% increase in the minimum frame rates actual
