The same thing.. To get full load of all cores we usually split our`s sequence in to several chunks and render them simultaneosly via background render.. but with this setup you can easily exceed your RAM limit.. so for heavy sequences we split in to small amount of simultaneous renders or even 1. But if sequence is "light-weighted" we split up in to 5 simultaneous tasks on each render-station. You can see what i`m talking about on attached image.
for example..
