prime95 brings cpu to only 50%?

  #1  
May 15th, 2008
i got an old Pentium 4 hyperthreaded, and when i run any of the three standard torture tests in prime95, my cpu processing tends to stay at approximately %50. it jumps higher for a millisecond or so once in a while, but it tends to stay at 50. shouldn't it be at %100? ive noticed this tendency in other applications as well.
