 This expects that thread still runnig, but each process (thread) sometime
waiting for disk, net etc. During this time can runs some other thread.
 Performance of program not directly depends on number of CPU, but on 
type of a work that execute thread. The important thing is how you can 
split a work to small and independent parts.
