In my experience, java applications in general run faster when more than one
processor (or core, doesn't matter) are present. Keep in mind java is
inherently multithreaded (in assigning tasks, and in cleaning up memory), and
so is ImageJ as well.

With two cores, two files can be opened at the same time (the hard drive can
deliver higher data bandwith than the processor can take per unit of time).

Macros are also more responsive; the graphical interface too.
