I have seven threads working on CPU WUs and one thread working on 13 GPU WUs (I have two GPUs working). My GPU is very sluggish (obviously) with zero errors (knock on wood), but with all of this happening, my Task Manager shows the CPU as not exceeding 50% and no CPU WU exceeding 7% (7 x 7 is 49). How can I make more efficient use of my computer? 50% of the time, it's just sitting doing nothing.
According to the numbers, the threads should be able to handle twice the number of WUs or they should be completed in half the time. Is this just bad programming of the WUs?
Thanks for the education.

P. S. - I have a RAM Drive install, if that helps. A thought. Are the WUs being delayed by the program on the assumption that they are I/O writing and I/O reading to a standard HDD, thereby defeating the purpose of the RAM Drive or am I over thinking this issue?
