It may be using 1 thread but it has all 8 tied up and prevents other work from being done. I'm going to cancel it now, it's be running for 36 hours.

3) Message boards : Number crunching : So how long is your C116 Task? (Message 722)

Post:
I have a C116 that has been running for 24 hours now using all 8 cores and is at 99.999% for the last 4 hours or so. I appears the CPU time is stuck also at 03:25:31. Will it ever finish on my i7-4700HQ? If it's not done in the next 12 hours or so I'll cancel it.
4) Message boards : Number crunching : why does it need all 8 cores to run (Message 508)

Actually yafu doesn't need all 8 cores to run..... if you trick it!

1. set all projects to no new work.
2. set ncpus in cc_config to # of cores you want to use for yafu. (5 or more)
3. read cc_config for change to take effect.
4. allow new work for yafu.
5. bump minimum work buffer up by 2 days in preferences.
6. downloaded yafu WUs only need # of cores entered in step 2, not all 8.
7. set ncpus back to 8 and repeat step 3.
8. drop minimum work buffer down by 2 days.
8. allow new work for other desired projects.
9. set yafu to no new work otherwise new WUs will take all 8 cores.
10. if needed, suspend any running tasks for a few seconds to get yafu started.

This will keep you crunching yafu for a couple of days and allow GPU and other CPU tasks to run as well. I have not tried setting ncpus to 4 or less. It may allow multiple yafu tasks to run at the same time and defeat the goal. This process takes a few minutes and it would be far better if yafu had a way to select the # of cores in project preferences. Another method is to fire up a virtual machine with the number of cores you want for yafu.
