Multiple einstein processes, only one getting time; SMP problem?

Assuming you are running Linux: what kernel are you running? Einstein is a multi-threaded App which may show up as three processes. Assuming that you are not running the graphics, only one (the "worker" thread) consuming time is quite ok, the graphics thread is blocked and the controller is rather artificial anyway, so shouldn't get any CPU time at all. As they all belong to the same application their command line should be identical, too.
