On Genode, how do we ensure that CPU cores are being used efficiently?

it is not ensured.

What mechanisms are in place for thread balancing?

None. (well, except on base-linux where Linux performs the balancing)

The general idea is that the balancing is not a concern for the base system but should be solved at a higher level. E.g., when assigning multiple CPUs to a VM, the guest OS will do the balancing. In a similar way, noux could in principle spawn processes on different CPUs while monitoring CPU usage (e.g., via core's trace service).
