I think that's more related to the lack of RAM.

Whether the processor is dual-core or single-core is almost irrelevant. For a very long time we have been running multi-tasking systems on single cores without a problem. Dual-core just "doubles" the speed if used optimally.

OTOH RAM is quite critical when multi-tasking, due to the slowness of swap memory.
