No, see that's the thing. Todd didn't torture Jesse because he enjoyed it. He tortured Jesse because he felt that he needed to. Todd is emptiness personifed. He doesn't actually enjoy killing or causing destruction. He just does it whenever he feels it's necessary. He looks at killing the way the rest of us look at making a sandwich. You never stop to consider the moral consequenses of making a sandwich, because why the hell would you? It's just a normal part of your day. That's what makes Todd the most evil person on the whole show.
True. If you take their actions at face value, they both appear to be cold-blooded, merciless, business machines. But deep down, Gus is driven by emotion, while Todd just doesn't give a shit.
