  *me too* here. Not long ago I built a traffic monitoring machine
with 3 interfaces. 3 instances of the same pcap-based tool run on it,
each bound to a specific CPU (the machine has 4 of them). Finally, a
statistics/report generation tool runs bound on the 4th CPU. I had to
go for Linux to do it, since the load is quite big. I'd love to see
CPU affinity in DFly too.

If it's there, and you can see it, it's real.
If it's not there, and you can see it, it's virtual.
If it's there, and you can't see it, it's transparent.
If it's not there, and you can't see it, you erased it.
