On my Mac Quad, Vue automatically renders on all four cores a little too well. It gets all four CPUs roasting at 100% and the fans start roaring like an F-16 jet ready for takeoff. I actually wish there were a way I could throttle it back at times to something less aggressive like setting the CPUs at 90% or something like that. Does anyone know of a way to do this? (Someone suggested the possibility of an app that idly consumes CPU resources but doesn't actually use them....? Any clues?) btw, this doesn't happen all of the time. Sometimes all four CPUs render along at 100% rather quietly so I'm not sure what causes the fans to kick in sometimes (radiosity?). Has anyone else experienced this?
