I disagree.  In my experience critical sections only employ a
spin-count per entrance into the block.  TCriticalSection is a
particialar method to ensure a code block is only accessed by one
thread at a time.  I strongly believe it does not ensure a "core stay"
during execution.  See the link at wikipedia.  It clearly explains the
issue of multi-core situations.
