+It's not clear how (or even whether Windows) lets you specify the processor group
+for a process, new or existing.
+
+This looks like it might work:

+One of the above docs says "The operating system initially assigns each process to
+a single group in a round-robin manner across the groups in the system."
+Does that mean there's no control in process creation?
+
+If processor group/affinity is inherited,
+maybe the client can changes its group prior to creating the process?
+
+Can we create and use an "startup info" structure during process creation?
