Look at the top line of top. Is there any idle cpu? If so, the process
is probably using all the cpu it can.

Is the machine running out of physical memory or is this process waiting on
IO (disk or network)?

Can you, if not already done, recompile with more optimization?

If the process was not written to take advantage of multiple cpus, the
fact that you have 2 cpus isn't going to matter much.
