Anyway, I don't think it's just my work units because it's been happening consistently since I got my quad core in April. techwise's top output appears to be about what I'm seeing too, where each instance has one process using 100% of a core, and the rest are using varying amounts less (though I'm only running a single instance).
I see on the Folding forums that the a1 core I seem to be using does not scale very well on four cores and it also seems to be pretty old (2006). I've enabled the advanced methods to hopefully get a newer one since even deleting the core doesn't seem to cause it to get a new one right now. I guess I'll have to keep an eye on it.
