Hopefully we will see more optimization in coming patches.

I know that there was the announcement that the rendering task has been shifted to another core, but AFAIK there was no specific core assignment given.

If your example would be true, then my second core should boil (because it would have to handle CloD and its rendering task) but it doesn't. This would also mean that my OS uses 55% of core #1 while running CloD - which seems not to be reasonable - because nothing else runs in the background (except for the Steam client).
So from my current point of view, core #1 is occupied by OS and CloD, core #2 is occupied by the rendering task and from that understanding, I can't see any benefit by using a Quad-Cpu.

What do you think?
