Don't be sorry, you are probably right!

What I meant, but failed to make clear, was that in general processors with more cores have a lower clockspeed. Sure there are high speed multi core processors but they tend to get very much more expensive; so "dollar for dollar" I feel that you get more processor capacity at a lower clock speed.

A program should be light and agile, its subroutines connected like a string of pearls. The spirit and intent of the program should be retained throughout. There should be neither too little or too much, neither needless loops nor useless variables, neither lack of structure nor overwhelming rigidity." - The Tao of Programming, 4.1 - Geoffrey James
