Task Manager CPU Usage History problem

I have an executable file compiled in C that does numerically intensive
calculations that I use as a benchmark of computer performance.

I am running Windows XP Service Pack 2.

When I run it on one computer Task Manager shows a CPU Usage History of 100 %.

On my computer at home Task Manager shows a CPU Usage History of 50 - 51 %
only with "Idle processes" making up the balance.

System Properties >>> Performance options >>> Prcessjor scheduling is set to
best performance of programs.
System Properties >>> Performance options >>> memory usage is set to best
performance of programs.

Does anyone know what is going on and why I can't get the CPU to work 100 %
on my executable?

Thanx

Doug

Let me guess. At home you have a dual core processor and you program is a
single thread. Automatic 50%.
