If you OS has good SMP, the affinity should be pretty good... but some OSes
will allow you to force processor affinity.

I know there are patches/modules out for linux to let you do this (basically
handles into sched.c)

I can't imagine you'll gain much more performance by forcing the process to
bind to a given CPU - SMP in the kernel is pretty good at figuring out what's
going on, for the most part ;)
