increase application cpu percentage

I run a processor-intense mathematic application that takes several days to complete. Win2k SP4, 3.0Ghz Pentium, 4GB ddr2 ram, mobo=Intel D975BX. I would like to increase the speed of the application. I notice that if it is the only running process, it runs at 50% (task manager) against 50% idle. If I add a quiet process, it still runs at 50%, the quiet process runs close to 50%, and idle drops to about 1%. I surmise that Win2k limits applications to a max of 50%. Can someone advise on increasing the application percentage to, say, 90%?
