It's very easy.
Before the code being merged with the cpugraph plugin, I made a "cpuload plugin"
to support showing the load for each core.

The plugin is here:
http://miknix.homelinux.com/xfce4-cpuload-plugin/

I'm quite busy by now with University stuff.
But maybe someone want to have a look at it and implement that on
the system-load plugin?

Siposs: You could just try the cpuload plugin.. It's a separate plugin,
but should fulfil your needs.
