Crux and Tide are currently both single threaded and can't take direct advantage of multiple cores. You can get some parallelism by splitting your spectrum file into multiple subsets and running a separate crux/tide instances on each subset.
I've forwarded your message on to the Crux user group mailing list. That way it will be seen by all the Crux developers and users.
You can sign up for that group/mailing-list here:

Please let us know if you have further questions.
