Running Calibre 0.8.41 on a quad-core desktop; roughly 5000 books.

I open task manager and note each processor usage; near zero as I have few background apps running.

I open Calibre and note only one processor responds. No threading on startup, at least on my system.

I run a bulk heuristic conversion on several books and all four processors kick in.

So, there ya go.

ETA: I got curious at threading level and picked one book and ran the conversion again. Again, all four kicked in. There ya go some more.
