Yeah same thing always. I can actually render 8 frames per render box on on farm 8 frames by 2 threads is just ass fast as any combination from 1xall threads 4x4 2x8 6x3. Most of our famr is dual 6 core with hyper threads so...... unless you have furnace in the comp you will need to run a lot of frames to see full cpu usage.
