Too Many Cores
Blarg. As I suspected, Poser can only spawn 4 render threads max. Not that I use it much, but it was always a nice way to run some benchmarks.

Hopefully you have MenuMeters or something installed. I like seeing the little bar-graphs for all 8 cores bounce up and down when doing something that's truly multi-core aware (like exporting in Aperture, for instance).
Yup, although I don't use its CPU display. I've always had Activity Monitor's Dock icon set to CPU History. Although now it only shows 1 overall graph instead of one for each core. I don't think you could fit 16 virtual cores into an icon and have them display anything meaningful. Unless on/off is meaningful. :) I have watched the CPU meters in the iStat Dashboard widget. 8 of them respond to reality, the other 8 are always at 100%. Must not be able to interpret the virtual cores or something.
