i am testing this now with a "normal" image. GlobalRenderosity 2400x1500 pixels tuned final settings ... took 13hours on single pc. now with 4 pc's in hypervue i see that the average cpu usage is between 10% - 50% per pc. and although in the task manager more than one core is used only one single tile is rendered in hypervue at a time per pc. does this include multiple cores?

so compared to 8cores with 100% on single pc that would result in render power of 4-20 cores (with 5 pc's = 40cores).

i am guessing the single tiles render same speed but the overhead between tiles must be slowing the process down.

its a little disappointing that 5times pc power only results in none-2.5  rendering speed improvement.

weird? does this get better when rendering animations?

or would i need much more rendercows so it makes more sense?
