Over long period of time measurement, true; but even with > 1 flows, it
is possible that one flow is more active/intense than others (rtp vs
some bulk file transfer) or more processor intensive than others(eg
ipsec vs clear text) etc. 

BTW: just poking at intel doc on turbo boost and it seems the max a
core can steal from others is 400Mhz; so a core can go from 2.8Ghz
to 3.2Ghz. I am sure theres a lot of interesting dynamics from this ;->
I think i will try turning this thing in my tests since i have an i7.

cheers,
