A single preemptive event driven framework is probably a closer match.

BEAM has a very efficient multi core fair scheduler. All 2M process share time on all available cores and are handled by a single scheduler. Because it's preemptive, starvation problems one might see on an event loop are avoided. A CPU intensive process can run alongside low latency IO processes and they are all fairly scheduled.
