Are you running the windows smp client? If so, realize that task manager will only show about %50 usage because the smp client doesn't use the virtual cores, so even though it is using all four physical cores of the i7, window thinks it's still got the 4 virtual cores available. It's not recommended to use hyperthreading for the standard smp client directly, but many people with i7's have had great success running two smp clients via linux and the vmware player. They are then able to take better advantage of the i7's hyperthreading and I've seen people claim 8,000ppd or more with this setup.
