No the cpu will still run with it's specified clock speed.

I'm not 100% sure, but octave uses lapack, blas, fftw and all that
stuff? maybe you can get a version of these libraries that automatically
exploit multiple cores for large matrices.

Google should help. Also, I want to know if I totally misunderstood
