Check in Preferences / Effects, and make sure the Number of Threads is set correctly there. It should be set to the same number as you have CPUs.
But note that not all encoders and effects are capable of multi-threading. For effects, it is only possible for ones where the output image can be divided into horizontal slices (ie. those which have the flag WEED_FILTER_HINT_MAY_THREAD set). Also only some of the encoders support multithreading. Note also that even in the case of multithreading, it is generally up to the operating system to assign threads to CPUs.
