Previous version of the distributor example did not print out several 
lines of
statistics every second, which the new version does. I felt that it it 
would be
better to separate this off to it's own core, so that the rx core 
performance
would not be impacted.

I'll add an extra comment in the commit message.

Regards,
Dave.
