Asking a clarifying question on that statement:
Commands may not use multiple threads - but in the context of WPILib and the OS itself, there could be multiple commands running at the same time - and I'm assuming that those can be scheduled by the OS to target different cores?

Is there an easy way for teams to go in and see how much throughput each core is using of its potential maximum capacity?
