Which probably means 100% of one CPU, and little of the others. (The
programs top and htop have modes where they can display each single
CPU's usage.)

Re-write the filters to improve their multi-threading support?

Honestly, as far as I understand, most filters don't support threading.
Your filter_complex is likely to run in a single thread on a single
CPU.

P.S.: ffmpeg -filters, check the  ".S. = Slice threading" column.
