That shows that all four CPUs are being used and that threads are
switching about between CPUs between snapshots, which is what you would
expect. 

How the read pidstat output:
- each chunk of text, starting with a heading line is a snapshot of the
  system made at the time shown in the first column. There's a snapshot
  recorded every two seconds.

- TGID is the process id of the process. 

- TID is the thread id for each thread.

- The Command column shows the relationship between threads - in this
  case that all the threads were spawned in parallel.

- the interesting columns for you are %CPU and CPU which together
  show how much CPU a thread is using and which CPU its running on.
