Intense cache locality logic, power saving concepts, cpu frequency governor behaviour and separate runqueues per CPU within the current CPU process scheduler in the current mainline linux kernel will ocasionally do this. Some workloads will be better, while others will be worse. Feel free to try my BFS cpu scheduler if you wish a CPU process scheduler that spreads work more evenly across CPUs.
Alas the last version I synced up with will not apply cleanly past about 3.0.6 I believe:
