For a render, I typically set +WT at 'maximum logical processors minus 
2'. As I have here 6 cores and thus 12 logical processors, I set +WT10. 
Thus I am always able to do something else besides the render.

Possibly, your WT is set low by default. Changing WT and watching the 
Task Manager you will see CPU utilisation change. I noticed that when 
CPU utilisation gets close to 90+% no render time is really gained, so 
it seems always better to set a lower WT to keep it under the 100%
