You're lucky !
Is the program using, and counting, some time on the second G5
processor, since measured completion times are much lower than reported??
Anyone have more info?
Here's what the FAQ tells:
http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/faq.html#q458
Are you planning on adding multiprocessor support for my Dual G4 system?
Yes. Not in 3.0, but in a later version.

Will the screensaver program use more than one processor on a
multiprocessor machine?
Not the initial version. Maybe a subsequent one.
Maybe you should switch to Boinc, now for Apple computers there is a
command line client, and two GUI (menubar and "normal") clients. I don't
know if Boinc/s@h already uses both processors of a dual-processor
computer, but on preferences page you can select the number of µp Boinc
can use. It is already supported, or it will be supported soon.
