"Lock threads to cores" but still using more than 2 cores?

[hypnotoad]

I'm not complaining at all. But I was asked to make a new thread about this.

From what I've been told, Dolphin produces 2 threads of processing. Enabling "Lock threads to cores" option, is supposed to restrict each thread to just one core. Leave it off, and the threads jump around however many cores you have, and this is supposed to be less efficient, according to the "experts".

This is with "Lock threads to cores" off:


This is with it on:


It seems to still be using other cores. Maybe that's a good thing. But others have said it only uses 2 cores on their CPU, even if it's maxing them out.

If you wish to participate, try enabling this feature, and tell whether Dolphin's threads use more than 2 cores, or not. And include what kind of processor you are using, and other relevant specs. Thanks.
