the number of cores won't matter since scribus 1.4 is still fully
single threaded.

there were some first tries with multi threading in 1.5... i'm excited
to see what comes out of there!

for the rest, scribus can be slow with certain documents... but you
don't give enough details to guess what could be happening in your case.
