Best test is to write down an exact time from a render with your old system, then when switched over, time it with the new system. That's how I know I'm rendering about 12 times faster than before. No way can you have a 2 times faster cpu and be rendering slower than before, just not possible, lol. You do have some of the most complex scenes around. AgentSmith
