A quick google search did not answer my question.

How many processors can DF utilize?

I'm no expert, but from what I've heard, one.

As I understand it, only two, one for most of the heavy lifting, and one that's used largely for graphics.  That's about as close to multi-threading as the current game runs.  But don't fret, the remaining affinity on that Octo-Core box you got will run everything else that isn't DF (for whatever reason you'd want to do that, pffft).

I didn't think it would be more than two but it never hurts to ask. Thanks for the fast reply.
