JavaScript is single-threaded, views are written in JavaScript thus a
view can only make use of a single core.
On the positive side, it does mean that while doing a view, you still
have the cpu power to handle two other views, and handle couch requests
with dedicated cores.

I have created a new couchdb database on a quad-core machine, loaded
the database with 30 million documents and created a view.
I accessed the view for the first time, to start the view computation.
From whatever I can see from the output of top command, beam.smp is
taking around 70% of cpu and couchjs around 30%.
Shouldn't the view computation process use all the 4 cores for doing
the computation?
Thanks,
