A single site can have multiple jobs at once - you don't need one per 
core. Look at any use of a cluster, for example.

Set the jobThrottle to reflect the number of simultaneous jobs you want 
running (== the number of cores you want to use) - if you don't specify 
it, the default is 20 jobs at once (jobThrottle=0.2), which is probably 
not what you want.

The same applies for using the local execution provider to run on multiple 
cores on your local macine.
