Why doesn't multithreading in C# reach 100% CPU?

Question

I\'m working on a program that processes many requests, none of them reaching more than 50% of CPU (currently I\'m working on a dual core). So I created a threa

Answer 1

if your process is running on cpu 0 and spawning threads there, the maximum it will ever reach is 50%. See if you have threads running on both cores or on just one. I would venture to guess you're isolated to a single core, or that one of your dependent resources is locked on a single core. If it hits exactly 50% then a single core is very likely to be your bottleneck.
