The benefit of a dual core system is not just so you can run more stuff. It can be used to reduce the inefficiency of using one CPU at a higher clock speed. It's kinda like Apple's A4 chips. They can go alot faster than what Apple uses them for, but Apple would prefer to use the more efficient chips at a lower clock speed for better battery life and less heat output.

I am going be surprised if the HTC Glacier doesn't have better battery life and less heat output than other Android 1 Ghz single core devices.
