Indigo Render GPU problem

Hi,
I'm having some trouble with the GPU rendering in Indigo. It doesn't look like the renderer takes full advantage of my GPU. Below is a screenshot showing what I mean.
Anyone know what the problem is?

Hi Benny Lava
The GPU acceleration mode in Indigo 3.0 is a hybrid approach in which the GPU accelerates some of the workload, but not all. Consequently either can become a bottleneck, and the speedup obtained varies from scene to scene; usually the CPU is the bottleneck, so GPU mode helps most in scenes of high geometric complexity.
GPU acceleration in Indigo will of course continue to improve in the 3.x series

..and hopefully will be compatible with other render methods. At the moment, sticking to PT and getting perfect results in scenes with "complex" materials is very hard. So in many cases, I had to do with traditional only-CPU calculation.
