    TC never used more than one core AFAIK. The script engine is single-threaded anyways, the UI work has to be done on the UI thread, and the whole thing is old, so there is likely nothing in there to take advantage of core parallelism. If you want to use 100% of your CPU, you need a CPU with only 1 core. Alternatively you could install an hypervisor and run 4 concurrent VMs...
