I may seem overly negative but I don't like it when projects beg for stars. It will get one if it's interesting and that's for the reader to decide.

That aside, the suggestion to pin to a core should likely be anything above core 0 at least [1] as otherwise the results will be quite noisy. This might not matter as much for such a short running process but using other cores doesn't hurt.
