It is a simple calculation. Assuming a context switch were around 
1000ns. x 500 tasks / 4 cores = 125ms if all tasks are busy. 125ms is a 
long time.

Another factor is scheduling. Assuming the time quant is 10ms (Windows 
default) and all task are doing pure calculations uninterrupted by any 
I/O, then, again: 10 x 500 / 4 = 1.25s [+125ms] is the time a task gets 
back to a core. 1.3s is an eternity.
