POV-Ray uses all CPU time it gets from the system, it does not change
CPU usage in any way.  If it does not get enough CPU time this depends
on the individual setup of your system and the priority setting of the
POV-Ray process.  The Windows version allows you to set the priority of
the POV-Ray render process, but this is unlikely the cause of what you
observe.  You may want to check for background processes or other system
services eating up the remaining CPU time.
