I may seem overly negative but I don't like it when projects beg for stars. It will get one if it's interesting and that's for the reader to decide.

That aside, the suggestion to pin to a core should likely be anything above core 0 at least [1] as otherwise the results will be quite noisy. This might not matter as much for such a short running process but using other cores doesn't hurt.

Well, I apologize for "begging", but I do it because it helps me to stay motivated when I see a bunch of people get interested in the project, or at least feign interest, haha. I know it's cringy but making it to 200 stars recently and the fact that it was seen by Zig core people and people in their periphery helps me soldier on.

I had no idea about the core 0 issue, so I thank you very much for this information. I'm not sure it makes a difference but I'll change the suggestion.
