this is interesting. what does the messages pane say at at startup about
the CPU? Just after the message about it being a time-limited beta test,
there is another section mentioning the tools menu and the CPU. For example:

  Loaded 8 tools into Tool Menu.
  Detected 2 CPU's providing 8 physical cores and 8 logical ones.

I would like to know the latter for your install.

(Also, what information are you using to determine the traces run with a
single thread? Observation of CPU load, or some other data?)
