The /MP flag is a compiler flag, telling the compiler to be multithreaded. 
cl.exe doesn't compile in each of the instances of the compiler; instead, it 
finds running instance and tells it to compile the source that it was given. 
That's how cl.exe implements /MP.

After a while, that compiling instance exits. Moreover, that doesn't apply to 
other processes.

If you want to make full use of your CPU cores, use jom.exe, not nmake.exe.
