Um, not your average "PC" program then. Like I said, I can see the use
in servers, and that's a server! OOC, is it used for
testing/development, or is it meant to allow you to run mainframe
applications on PC hardware in production?

IBM mainframe emulator. It will happily use every processor you can
throw at
it. It can emulate multiprocessor systems, and each emulated processor
is a
thread...and there are three overhead threads for different kinds of
maintenance tasks...and it will use multiple threads for overlapped I/O.
(By
default, it keeps an unused I/O thread around for 5 minutes to handle
more
requests, but it can be configured to launch a new thread for every
I/O).

I've run it on an 8-way Proliant 8500 before and kept all 8 CPUs busy.
