There is always going to be a single thread that is a bottleneck for the rest, so one out of six cores on your CPU is loaded to its max while the other have a little less to do. A single Kaby Lake core is almost twice as fast as an AMD FX core too (Take note that his laptop CPU likely could turbo higher than 2.5 ghz, maybe up to 3 ghz or so).

Anyway, there is a performance hack/patch for this game, use it: https://www.patreon.com/posts/march-progress-8627774

Thanks, that does explain it.

I've already been using the patch anyway, guess I'm going to need a stronger CPU on a single-core basis... well, that or some time for the developers to optimize the software for multicore systems.

EDIT - strangely though, the Resource Monitor indicates that all cores are used at even levels:
