Yes, but that depends very much on the calling application.
Transcode is multithreaded, too, and when using slow rescaling 
I get around 180% CPU load of 200%, but it's asymmetric and therefore 
very limited. 
Add 2 more CPUs and you are still at 180%, then of 400%. Also, if I
_don't_ use slow rescaling, but just cropping or similar, then the 
load drops, of course.
