1) Questions and Answers : Macintosh : Only ~50% CPU usage (Message 47570) Posted 9 Oct 2007 by Joshua Post: I'm running Rosetta via BOINC but I have 48% idle (sum of two cores). It doesn't seem like it's only using one core.. it is using both.. but it is only using each one at about 50% CPU capacity. Is there a way to increase this? [EDIT] I'm also noticing that the graph of my two cores is inverse. When one core spikes, the other core drops to nil. While very visually symmetrical and amusing, I would really like to see both cores maxed out when running Rosetta :) [EDIT (again)] Ahhhhh.. nevermind. It cannot use both cores for one task. Now that it has completed downloading a second task my CPU usage is maxed.
