I bought this up before on the old forum but I am having to render some stuff in Afterburn again and wondered if this issue had been resolved?
Basically render times are nearly 3 times longer when Hyper Threading is enabled on a dual processor system with winXP SP2 installed.
An identical machine running windows2003 server renders as expected.
If HT is disabled the machines seem to render as expected but obviously anything else that is rendered with other software can no longer take advantage of the HT.
It is very annoying to have to reset the render farm whenever we need to use Afterburn, I wondered if this issue had been recognised and maybe if it had been fixed in version 3.2a which I can't seem to get access to.
Thanks
