Perhaps the most reasonable answer is that it doesn't NOT use both CPU's. 
Each thread is free to run on whatever CPU has the least load at any given 
moment. There's some advantage to having a thread run on the same CPU it 
ran with on the last timeslice, because that CPU's cache will still have 
valid data for that thread. This is called "affinity".
