I have the same situation with a dual core athlon. I find CPU 0 seems
to do slightly more work than CPU1 (as shown by gkrellm) but sometimes
the processors seem to swap places.

So far, the only app that seems to have had more problems than on my
old single core 32bit athlon is ZynAddSubFX. It seems a little more
twitchy if I alter things while it is playing :(
