You have a quad-core CPU with hyperthreading, which Windows stupidly displays as eight cores with no distinction between the logical cores and physical cores. Dolphin can only use two threads at once (and there's really no way for Dolphin to split its work into more threads) and doesn't use much GPU power in general (compared to modern games). This isn't unusual, and this isn't a bug - ask on the forums next time. http://forums.dolphin-emu.org/
