The amount of particle and heat distortion effects makes me happy :D

Can you post a screen shot of your processor activity?

Others have posted with quads and dual cores showing really only 1 processor is getting used (aka not being multithreaded) is this also the case with you?

I see the first core being used the most and the 2nd core at 25% load. This is as it should be since the rendering thread is the most demanding process. Sim thread shouldn't be too taxed in smaller games.

I'll eventually get both maxed, but I tend to run a lot of background processes. I think the multithreading will be much improved by release, though.

I doubt that it will get much better. The SC engine only has 2 major threads, rendering and simulation, and they can't be split up.

That sucks. I could've sworn there were more processes that could be split across the cores.
