.SYNOPSIS
Simple script to generate a lot of CPU load
.DESCRIPTION
Generate a lot of CPU load based on the number logical processors
.PARAMETER Overload
Double the number of jobs.
Normally the script will start one job per logical Processors,
this switch will double the number. This will overload the server.
Hint: If your server supports Hyper-threading,
the number of logical Processors is the doubled amount of cores!
WARNING: The system might become unstable!
.EXAMPLE
PS C:\> .\invoke-CPUWorkload.ps1
.NOTES
Nothing fancy, just a plain and easy script to generate a lot of load.
Created to do a stress test on new servers.

We start the work with Start-Job (in the background)
If this can cause an overload, the system might become unstable and it might take very long to respond.
CTRL+C will not end background execution of worker threads, it will just kill this script
