The smp:4:4 part should mean you have access to all (logical) CPUs.

Haskell is different from Erlang, and its parallellism-constructions
are much different. I wonder if you can give the program or at least
tell us the strategy is uses for obtaining parallel evaluation. It may
be here the problem lies (at least that is my hunch)
