> in general you should have a task per active entity in your problem domain.
  Absolutely.  You should try to program in the problem domain, not the
hardware domain (that's for optimization).  Some problems are most
naturally thought about with more than one task, even if the plan is to
execute on a single cpu machine.  And look at taskmgr in your local
Windows machine - there are already a large number of processes using
those cpus before your program even starts.
