You might check in Task Manager to see if one of your cores is spiking to
100% while the other has spare capacity. Make sure to change view to show
both cores and if so, you may be able to change the affinity for some apps
to compensate. Vista has this problem on my machine with many apps running
where XP did a better job of allocating.
