How can I make FCPX use more of my CPU for rendering?

I dont get it...

you say " My Final Cut Pro X is only using about 4% of my CPU"

then you say "the Activity Monitor shows me that the rendering-process is spread over all the cores, so its not that the program does not support multi-core rendering.

Which is directly contradicting sentence number one

Is this an error ???

If the app is spreading the workload accross multiple processors & threads. Then it IS per definition Multi-threaded.

If the workload of the individual processors are not 100% then perhaps your disk is the bottleneck and preventing the processors from delievering full speed. Although I cannot imagine that.

If you feel that all processors SHOULD be reaching 100% (which would lame down the computer) then you should write feedback from the FCPx menu and tell them about it...

Rendering is now done using GPUs. The CPU cores don't need to use much of their power to hand over content for the graphics card to work on.

A change since version 10.0.6. You need to get a new faster graphics card with more memory.

Run either 10.8 or 10.9; FCPX performs better on those OS versions than preceding versions.

Install at least 8 GB of RAM; 16 GB is preferable.

Keep Background Rendering off and don't render prior to export.

Keep your projects and events on a good external drive (Tb, FW800 or USB3).

Keep at least 15% free space on the start-up and media drives.

Edit and export Pro Res masters. Use Compressor or MPEG Streamclip to make versions for delivery.

FCPx is OpenCL... Which should utilize every available processor. Incl. CPUs.

Whereas openGL only uses GPU.

i have a imac7,1 what can i do to make my final cut pro just run smoothly with faster responce time for rendering ?
