I have a problem when i try parallelization with OpenMP on a a Intel Core 2 Quad (processor X5355)

when i'm using a single proccessor the running time is : 48 minutes, but if i use four proccessors the running time is 23 minutes, but if use 5, 6,7,8 the running time is the same 21 MIN !!!... when i'm using 5 to 8 processors the paralelizacion time does not decreases ...

what is the problem..??

We can't guess accurately what is in your application. For example, you may be using all the memory bandwidth at 2 threads.
