We have a processing server set up that runs workflow timer processing as well as scan queue sweeps and ocr. Are there processes multi-threaded so that they would benefit from running on a sysytem with multiple cores or cpus?

If you are running the Thick Client, it is singled threaded. If you are running the Core Based Workflow Timer Service, that is multi-threaded.

Hi,
Are you absolutely certain the core based workflow timer is multi-threaded? - Doesn't it run through each assigned task sequentially, for instance if 3 processes are configured to run at 3am, doesn't the first one run to completion before #2 and #3 get processed? This is certainly the experience I have had when performing speed testing.
Regards
Nick

That isn't the experience I've had. I've got multiple timers that can run at the same time. Recently we needed to convert 1 million PDF files to TIFF and we created multiple WF Queues to split the documents into. Then we had a timer on each queue setup in the Core base WF Timer Service and all of the timers would run at the same time.

Nick, are you sure you're running the Hyland Workflow Timer Service? With that I have definitely seen it running multiple timers at the same time.
