Quote - Poser 7 only divides the work of a render once, at the start of the render.  I don't know for sure but I believe Poser Pro is no different.  When you have the renderer set for two threads, and you have two cores, then the job is split into two tasks that each run in their own thread; when one completes, your processor will be 50% idle.  The remaining work is not divided again, unfortunately. 

Regardless of anything else, I am confirming this in PoserPro. This is especially bad if you have hair. Ineveitably one process gets all the hair and the other three finish WAY ahead and are too stupid to go get another bucket to chew on. Phatthhhhooooooooy.

I have not had the problem cited above. On my Quad, once the actual render begins, all four are pegged out at 25% each as long as they are not "through with their assignment."
