Thread: Render speed in Poser7 with X2 CPU... | Forum: Poser - OFFICIAL
I tried running it with one thread, both CPUs were working on it but it totaled to 50% again, the odd thing is the paging file went up to 500mb... wondering now if my memory is malfunctioning.

The more I think about this, the more I am beginning to think its software, a bottleneck of any sort affecting CPU would (I would think) not leave any available room for running other programs, its kind of like the CPU is intentionally holding back to give available processing to whatever else I'm doing... Which I could understand if the priority was set to normal, but even in real time it holds back, does any one know of any kind of priority setting in poser? I remember DVD shrink had a 'run in low priority' mode that slowed it down substantially, could there be something like this in poser?
Also, I noticed that in the windows task manager there are at any given time 340+ threads(25+ processes), I assume this is normal OS stuff, but if the CPU is giving each priority that could add up to a deficit of 50%..?
Well, on a positive note it is still quite quick running at half speed, finished a render last night that would have taken 17 - 20 hours in the old system (900 frames), took about 11 on this one.. and I could use my PC for any games / internet stuff I wanted without any laboring... so I guess I can live with this.
thanks for all your responses.

Hang on, that's what the bucket size test was for... I get best time at 512 after that it starts using the HD and slows things down..? so I stay with 512.. but its still 50% average CPU usage (was about 50% at bucket 32). Also I don't hear the HD working very hard, so wouldn't that mean the bottleneck was somewhere else? I have 2gigs of ddr2 running in duel channel (matched pair) I thought 1 gig per core would have been enough to satisfy a 5400+ X2 Athlon..?
I'm getting confused here, my old system was a 3800+ Athlon with 256mb DDR and it maxed the CPU at bucket size 32... so shouldn't this duel core max out at that too (even if it wasn't very fast at 32 a scoop, it should still have 100% work to do).. or am I missing the point?
Also, there seems to be plenty processor / memory left to do other things... I can play star craft without it being affected.. if all the memory was in use you'd think it would freeze up from time to time.
thanks

yes, I tried it at 2 and 4 with separate processes on and off, doesn't change anything... so I'm not sure which to leave it on, just left it on 4 with separate processes on.
