Just did that other test (dynamic hair at upper left and lower left quadrant). As expected, the right side rendered quickly. During the remaining part of the render (the left side), CPU usage remained close to 100%.
This proves that using 4 threads on a dual core machine IS useful, unlike MikeJ's claim.
I'ts not a universal cure, however. Using more threads incurs more overhead, and if there's only one quadrant that is significantly harder to render than the others, you'll have to wait for that quadrant to finish, on a single core.
The pen is mightier than the sword. But if you literally want to have some impact, use a typewriter
