Q: How do I make Motion run 64 bit?

How can I get Motion to utilize all it's available resources?

Is there a preference I missed or did I miss an upgrade for Motion?  I'm running version 4.0.3

When I use Motion with my Activity Monitor running, I find that only one core is running at any given time which is a 25% CPU usage. 

Activity Monitor also shows many other processes running in 64 bit mode but not Motion. I thought it was a 64 bit program.

I was also surprised to find Compressor only runs 25% CPU but QuickTime hits about 340% using all four CPU's doing the same tasks.

Am I missing something?

 

Thanks,
