this result is expected if you are running one bladeencoder process only.
(openMosix cannot "split" a single processes and it won't parallize a 
single processes either)
Rip 2 (or more) wav's at the same time (on one node) and you will see how fine
openMosix will balance the 2 bladeencoder processes on your cluster.

all the best,

Matt
