hey this is just a random stupid question. I just bought poser 4, i've been using 3 for a while, but i got 4 and the pro pack, and now my comp runs slow as molasess, which it shouldn't because the only way i could get my computer to be any faster is to sell my soul to satan, or buy an sgi workstation. Any thoughts?

Hi, I think Poser is slow because it is port to windows. I just need to start Poser on my pentium III 700 Mhz and the CPU is use at 50% Cheers Guy

well, the only thing is that the cpu usage on mine is at 100%... i don't know, it's a pretty hefty system. i am running windows xp pro, i don't know if that affects it. anyhow, thanx.

The only way to get a really intelligent response is to provide all your computer specs. Memory, etc.. are very important. Personally I've helped hundreds of people, and never bothered looking at CPU usage.

It amy look fuzzy, but this is a snapshot of typical CPU/memory usage on my Dell Inspiron 8100 w/ Poser running. Specs are as follows: Windows 2000 Professional, SP2 applied. P-IIIm 1GHz processor 384MB RAM GeForce2Go 32MB vidcard. HTH a little, /P

You're right. It is fuzzy, therefore not very informative. The ironic thing about CPU usage monitors, in conjunction with other such utilities: You use them, and the hog all your cpu cycles. Therefore your computer is hobbled. It's better just to let your operating system do its job. The other day I got something going that I didn't want, and suddenly my cpu cycles were hogged. I fixed the problem by cutting back the programs that were loaded at startup. Ron

Heh - it's fuzzy because I had to shrink it to fit (my normal screen resolution is 1600x1200 :) The usage monitor I posted is Task Manager, which comes with Windows (Linux users can use top for comprehensive text-based readouts and snapshots.) I just wanted to note that Poser never really sucks down all that much CPU cycles on my machine until I render... In spite of the fuzz, notice the graph - the initial spike is from Task manager starting up, then it drops to almost nothing, which is how much edit mode sucks down (unless the polycount is through the roof, then you notice some usage...) /P
