How to (and should I) use more cores?
I'm on i5-3317U which has two physical cores and 2 virtual ones. I'm currently running FAH and it's using 100% of one of the cpus. Is it possible (and would it make sense) to make it use more cores?

Welcome to Folding@Home!
I am guessing you are on your first CPU Work Unit. Due to a bug in the client, it selects how to process the first WU before it learns how many CPUs you have. On the second WU, it will use all 4.
(If you have a GPU, it will use 3 out of the 4. It saves one to help the GPU)
If this is a bad guess, then we need to see the first 200 lines of your log to make better guesses.
