Yeah, I tested it once. (Intel XEON E3-1270 v2 + 32GB RAM) NumCPUs not set: tor runs with 8 threads. With NumCPUs=2: only with 2 threads.

It does, but it still isn't able to split the load into 8 threads evenly at the moment. In my experience one Tor process will use at most 1.2-1.3 of a core. Though I didn't try running multi-gigabit relays, only 100 Mbit ones on slow (but multi-core) CPUs.
