it is totally trivial to make Poser use 100% of the CPU if you aren't using it?
I render full blast and work all day writing and testing software, browsing for info, etc. Poser doesn't slow my machine down at all.
All you gotta do is lower its process priority.What this does is lets Poser have all the cores it wants, except when you use any other program. Then it is briefly interrupted. It's totally seamless and I don't even notice that Poser is hogging my computer.
This can be done with Task Manager, but I found it easier to just create a new short cut that launches Poser with lower priority.
Make a copy of the shortcut you use now, just in case you screw this up. Then open its properties.
In the target, put this:
C:WINDOWSsystem32cmd.exe /c start "runbelownormal" /belownormal "C:Program FilesSmith MicroPoser 8Poser.exe"
The bold part is what needs to be added. It's simple and very effective. There's no need to run with one less thread than cores either, as so many people suggest.

 

now this is something really interesting i did not know!
