Well, that is oversimplified.

In an imperative language like Ada (or C++, etc., where there only so 
many tasks as the programmer asked for) too few tasks might mean that 
the machine is underutilized (that is, there are cores or whole CPUs 
doing nothing) and too many tasks might mean high overhead on the 
scheduler, locking and other stuff.

In other words, it is good to be aware of the underlying horsepower so 
that you can properly adapt your driving style. ;-)
