Before the removal of this option the developers publicly asked if anyone could produce any data to back up this theory with hard evidence. Since nobody could it was removed.
I understand that this sounds logical but everyone who has actually tried it gains no significant (>5% which is within the margin of error) speedup on modern Intel cpus.

So I wonder if there is a way to lock threads to cores through Windows just for Dolphin? The Turbo Boost thing (which bumps me from 3.2GHz to 3.4) and extra time required to synchronize all 4 cores puts a small drag on performance.
Just leave it alone. Letting the OS manage this has been shown to produce better performance in nearly all cases.
