how can I forbid all programs but df frm two cores?

edit answered somewhere else sorry

I'd say your embark size is your biggest problem.  I have had 250 dwarves at 70 fps with a similar processor as yours with the default embark size in past releases.   Unfortunately with the addition of clothing fixed, I've noticed my inactive dwarves spend a lot of time storing objects in stockpiles (mainly tattered clothing) instead of hanging out at a meeting hall, which typically slows my fps significantly to mass dump levels of slow.  I'm looking forward to the hauling changes.

Soooo.... Similar question to the above poster.  How do you set process affinity between executions?  It's easy enough to move things around once they are running, but how do you configure it so DF (or any process) always runs on dedicated cores?

Gotta agree with this here. Try out a 6x6 embark and you will still have much more room then most people, (I tend to run 4x4 or maybe 5x5 on my Intel i7 macbook) and you will be able to handle much more dwarves and things going on at once.

You are right. 6x6 running nicely. :-)

An i7 920 can be comfortably overclocked from 2.66Ghz to 3.2Ghz with no voltage changes, using the stock/default/standard/terrible Intel heatsink.

Do a few Google seaches on your CPU. See if it can be overclocked by a similar percentage on stock cooling. That's the cheapest and fastest way to get more performance.

I have an i7 2670, on stock cooling, how can I safely overclock it?
