If the machines have windows, you can see both cpu bars go to 100, but 
it's a little tricky and i don't think this solution "work" with a 
renderfarm...       right click on the xsibatch process (task managaer) 
and select "set afinity", select the cpus you want and you're done.   
Some times you have to do it 2 or 3 times in every machine to set it as 
"default"...     weird and tricky but works.
