I would email support so this becomes a formal issue (or another voice on an
existing one).

Subject: Re: [Nuke-users] (no subject)
it is "idiling" at 40%-50%, same as the i7.
it is frustrating.
i give nuke 16 cores instead of 6, 64gb ram instead of 32, workstation grade
supermicro mb, 3 times faster raid, same gpu,
and it is slower...
even after effects was (slightly) faster on the xeon...
and it is not clock speed, the i7 is 3.5 ghz, and the xeon is 3.2, so it doesnt
explain
the 2-3 times slower displacement test, theres a serious bottleneck somewhere.
i have 1 main workstation, and a second one for 3d render, another i7.
id get a dual xeon as a "render node" only but its too expensive for me, one
must maximize the investment.
thnx

i guess it depend a lot on how many single-threaded operations are in your

can you check your CPU load on your render tests?
i'd guess that that the xenons will be 50% idle.
if so, one way to get faster speed could be to start two renders
simultaneously, each with half the frame range.
obviously this will only work if your operations are not IO limited, and
unfortunately won't help with interactivity
on the other hand, if you only have a single workstation there should be
plenty power left to keep on working on something else while it's rendering
which i also find useful sometimes.
