Currently bird is a single-threaded daemon.

Bird process will use single core. However,
* route updates / cli cmds, etc.. are done in small chunks so there are 
no "freezes" due to large neighbor going down or similar.
* daemon is very fast so you need quite large configuration (like 
hundred or several hundred peers and a large number of routes with 
complex filters) to make bird hit 100% cpu in some cases.
