Yes, but it is more complex than that. It's only meaningful if your 
tasks only use the CPU.

As soon as you start waiting for I/O with a disk, you should run more 
tasks than CPU because there is still something to gain (the time when 
your task blocks waiting for I/O).

For example, I usually run one more task than CPU when doing a compilation.
