Superhypersam brought this up,( I am beginning to think I missed something) and of course being a curious little monkey that I am, did a quick test...
single grid, object source emitter, 20 frames:
All Available checked (4 cores): 01:40
4 threads: 01:41
3 threads: 01:22
2 threads: 01:12
1 thread: 00:44
interesting... Why are my sim times so much faster when only using one core? How is the processing done? Kind of strange that the sim calculates in almost a minute faster using only one thread.
Could someone please enlighten me?
Obviously I haven't tried it one a more complex scene yet to see if there is any difference (would take a few nights me thinks) but anyway any explanations would be greatly appreciated.
