What if you upgrade the machine with a new CPU that has more cores?

  Disable some cores in the bios.

    That sort of defeats the point of an upgrade.

      So going from 2GHz to 3, or getting 50÷ IPC from an updated chip isn't worth it?

  Archive and restore or transfer to new media.

  A comment from one of the devs says there should be no impact as long as the number of CPU's stays below the number of locks the filesystem was created with, which will be very high by default. If it goes above, there is a possibility of more lock contention but it will still work.
