If you want faster renders, go to Edit > General Preferences, click on the Render tab, set the "threads" slider to 4, and click the checkbox underneath. This will allow the FireFly renderer to use multiple processors (if you have them) and separate memory threads.

 

No... I was dense... as I have admitted in this thread. I initially thought they would have to be imported, because the pz3's didn't originate from P7.

I have no problem with the P7 render speeds... I have been running with 4 threads selected, etc., I just find it strange the way the threads are handled.

Only 1 is used to render the shadows and when the threads have finished rendering their less intensive quarters of the render area they stop instead of all jumping in to help with the more intensive areas.
