I thought that the CPU that was isolated was no longer able to be monitored for load via the system monitor software tools. That is the way it was with Ubuntu 9.1 also. 10.04 worked so well I didn't pay a lot of attention to CPU loading.
I don't know why you have 100% loading on the other CPU, that doesn't sound right. What Motherboard/CPU are you using? Does the CPU1 load go up and down as you move things around on the desk top, etc. I've confined my EMC2 work to running on Atom dual core CPUs, and Celeron Dual cores (Core2 derivatives) simply because they work so well and they are cheap.
