And because of how iOS is written, multi-tasking isn't as CPU-intensive. It sandboxes apps and minimizes the footprint of each. It's not a system I'm terribly fond of but it works pretty well in mobile devices, minimizing the amount of CPU and RAM you need in a device while also extending battery life.
And congratulations on realizing that video encoding is CPU-intensive.
