Ah, maybe things work for me since my cores tend to be in use all the time running BOINC and maybe SS2 isn't getting affected by them due to that or something. I have to shut down BOINC for Skyrim and/or for video editing of large textures since it slows things down considerably, but I usually leave it running - certainly for older games it has almost no effect on gameplay.
