warning, because on my machine, 

cpu0 is on physical id 0, core 0
cpu1 is on physical id 1, core 0
cpu2 is on physical id 0, core 1
cpu3 is on physical id 1, core 1
cpu3 is on physical id 0, core 2
cpu4 is on physical id 1, core 2
cpu5 is on physical id 0, core 3
cpu6 is on physical id 1, core 3

So -T 0,1 might not do what you think...

$ netperf -T 0,1 -l 120 -H localhost
