VMS Help Sys Parameters, AFFINITY_SKIP  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

    AFFINITY_SKIP controls the breaking of implicit affinity. The
    value indicates the number of times a process is skipped before
    being moved.

    This special parameter is used by Compaq and is subject to
    change. Do not change this parameter unless Compaq recommends
    that you do so.
