Default DAW utilizing multi core?

curious as to whether most VST hosts for instance, will spread the
plugins across cores, or whether this is one point of quality split in
the hosts out there.


I don't know about plugins, but Ardour 2.x (OSX/Linux DAW) will use two
cores if available, one for audio processing and the other for the
graphics.
Ardour v.3 will make sensible use of more than 2 cores, but I don't know
exactly how it divides the work between them.
