I used to be able to run two projects, one on each cpu, now, since upgrading to boinc 6.6.36 boinc only sees one cpu. The benchmark results under Messages confirm this. I don't see any easy way to change this so that I can go back to being efficient. Is there one?

Check your preferences. Make sure that either the web preferences, or the local preferences in BOINC Manager-Advanced view->Advanced->Preferences shows "On multiprocessor systems, use at most 100% of the processors".

Local preferences override web preferences.
