Csound is single threaded without a GUI, double threaded with a GUI, but 
needs to coordinate events across threads. A GUI performance might benefit 
modestly from 2 cpus, but Csound could not beneft from more than 2 cpus.

It is always possible to run two or more instances of Csound at the same 
time in multi-CPU machines.

BtW: CsoundAV should benefit a lot from 2 cpus because the OpenGL engine 
runs in thread different than the audio engine. Anyway, I havn't had the 
possibility to get a try.
