I just tried the simple tests firebird super server between using
CPUAffinityMask at value 2 (use the 2nd CPU) and at value 3 (use both
CPUS) on AMD Athlon64 X2 3800+.

I thought at the CPUAffinityMask = 3 the performance would be drop, but it
didn't happened. The both results is same. Is it just a abnormal
case? If it's true, why the three test has the same results?
