Do you have a real CPU to back up the 2nd virtual CPU? If not, then you are not gaining anything. The 2nd virtual CPU is being scheduled to work on the only real CPU just like every other task waiting on CPU. I believe that the overhead on VM of scheduling the 2nd CPU and the additional work done by the Turbo Dispatcher to dispatch work on multiple CPUs would cause you to see less performance. If your a UNI processor, keep the VSE at 1 cpu and raise it's share value if your trying to give it more CPU time.
