Quote - Well, common sense tells you that it's better to assign task of which you don't know how long each one will take to all available resources as the resources are available and not to assign the tasks to the resources first... So I consider that obvious. And I'm more interested in improvements beside the obvious and those cannot be measured with more than one thread, as then the dumb thread divison of Poser 7 stops useful comparisions. But if you're just after looking which of your images benefits most from clever task assignment, well, then multiple tasks are ok. I just don't see the point of that.
But please go on, you'll have your reasons :-)

Behold... we present the multi-core to you.... but please be sure not to use all of the cores we do offer. Make sure you only assign one of them to Poser and enjoy the dreadful long rendering times you've always enjoyed.

Sorry, but that's the way I look at your statement. I've been using Poser for over 10 years now and I know by now how long something will take to render. I may not get it right to the minute, but I know when I scene that I set up will take 5 or 10 minutes, or 30 or 60 minutes or more to render. I've learned that much from all these years using Poser. I can do what you propose and loose hours of working with Poser and do lot's of useless things instead..... or I can assign all available power to Poser, wait a little while and go back to work. That takes much less time of doing nothing then what you propose.

I guess you have your reasons for only using one thread, so please go on wasting time.
