There can be many reasons for this.

One can be - is Emacs already super-fast?

I have lots of configuration and extentions, and
though I've written it as cleverly as possible, I must
admit that the interactive feel of 'emacs -Q' is
faster, not much but I sense it. Just as I sense the
one-core solution is faster.

Try bring in a bunch of stuff in .emacs if you didn't
already - w3m, LaTeX, Gnus, everything you can think
of - and then compare that to 'emacs -Q'. If you don't
feel a difference, perhaps you already hit the roof.

As for your CPU I don't know what optimization,
parallelizations, and so on are at play at that level.
It is more like a electrical engineering thing
anyway :) But do enlighten us if you know.
