I would expect to see 4 processes with 99.9% CPU usage. Instead of that I see only one! That is in my SuSE 9.2 AMD64.
I believe this is related to the linux kernel, the new threading architecture (NPTL), and how stats are gathered & reported in /proc. I don't think its a x86_64 (or suse) specific problem. I found most of this out by googling a while back so dont take this as a definative answer. I also read they are addressing some of these issues with the newer kernels but I dont know to what degree.
