Your newer MBP would have a 4 core i7 that supports hyperthreading and it would be turned on by default. Disable hyperthreading! Reaper pointedly wants to manage CPU threads itself and it conflicts with hyperthreading.
Open Activity Monitor. See 8 cores? Then hyperthreading is on for your 4 core CPU. Turn it off.
You can turn it off temporarily in System Preferences until the next reboot. Or turn it off with the Terminal command which stays put until you turn it back on yourself.
. . . you can permanently disable hyperthreading by issuing the following command in the Terminal:
sudo nvram SMT=0
To re-enable hyperthreading, use the command:
sudo nvram -d SMT
Changes take place on a reboot . . .
