I saw this, and like many users, I have however witnessed only one core used
during processing by LibreOffice.

This is exactly what I experience too. But it was marked as a duplicate of THIS
bug, so I thought THIS bug should be marked as "major", precisely because it
had been marked as "enhancement" for 7 or 8 years without being addressed in a
way that forced LibreOffice to actually use all the cores.

As I mentioned implicitly by "with all the versions since v6.0", I tested it
with all the versions since 6.0, to the present version 7.2.2, with exactly the
same result.

I think we are several to have done this, in
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/showdependencytree.cgi?id=139443, in this
thread or in support forums (one example among several instances in several
languages:

I thought any resource-intensive task would show the problem. In case I was
wrong and, as you suggest, it might depend on the nature of the task, here is
what I daily struggle with:
1. create a 30,000-row and two-column file with:
  - first column being unique integers
  - second column being whatever text
2. create another similar file, this time with 300,000 rows.
3. In the second file, create a third column with a formula only having a
VLOOKUP to fetch the second column's value in the first file, against the first
column's integer.
4. monitor your CPU resource consumption (and have a cocktail): only one core
is fully used, while the other are idle.

I agree. Whatever works to have some skilled people solve that issue...
