Setting thread affinity

Hi All,

I am creating some number of threads based on the system processor count for doing repeating task such as file encryption. In this case do I need to set affinity for the threads so that each thread can run on each available processor instead of all of them contending for the same processor. Or I should leave it for the OS to take care the processor allotment for the threads?

Any idea or input greatly appreciated.
