The problem is the invocation. "./Espresso" is actually a wrapper script
that executes a mpirun itself. The number of processors is given as a
parameter after the script name, and defaults to 2. Therefore, you get 8
threads.

So, you should simply execute "./Espresso ./eofCombs.tcl 4" to run on 4
processors. Or, if you want to do the mpirun yourself, then use "mpirun
-np 4 obj-xxx/Espresso_bin eofCombs.tcl".
