Void Platform::init()
{
SetProcessAffinityMask( GetCurrentProcess(), 1 );
This line above prevents windows from using more than one core. By removing the line above, I was able to see my threads run on more than one core.
Now windows is able to select the other core if it so desires. Saw a massive jump in framerate for my multi-threaded app.

Yes, TGE isn't opted for multiple processors, I thought I even read on a TGEA thread that there are parts that actually dislike it to be run on a different core parallel
