Yes I am set in the Separate Process and the pc starts off at 100% CPU usage and as the render gets to about half way it holds a 50% and declines at the end. Way cool to watch.

Well, it would be nice if they got it to where the cores all cooperated together. As it is, one core finishes its task, and then sits there doing nothing as the others chug along.
In LightWave, for example, when one core finishes, it jumps to another part of the render and they all do that until it's finished, and the CPU stays at 100% the whole time.

IMO, if they want to be really "Pro", they need to address some of these issues. Hopefully a future release will be fully 64 bit and use all cores available to their maximum capacity for everything going on in the program.
