Hi Dave, if you are not using SecureXL license, then the system will use only one CPU. In system with 2 CPUs, full load on one of them is exactly 50% load on the system Quote from price list: SecureXL Enables Wire-Speed VPN with SecureXL technology and multi-CPU licenses through software based acceleration. For use with FireWall-1 and VPN-1. Licensed per enforcement point. (Specific hardware required - see details)
