That seems funny though, since mine still keeps chugging along.
Dunno if it's XP or the fact I'm using an older version of Carrara, but on my system when it gets down to the last square left all the cores switch to working on it. When running task manager, you can see the processes drop for the cores that were on other squares, then they go back to 100% to help whatever core was left with the last bit. Or it could be that AMD Phenom still does things different than Intel i7 or whatever.
The newer OS from what I understand also has some settings for power management, whether or not that affects how threads are handled might be worth investigating.
Your friendly neighborhood Wings3D nut.
Also feel free to browse my freebies at ShareCG.
There might be something worth downloading.
