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.

        ok -

        im reading off my local raid 0 drive - which is fast enough to
        play back
        2k DPX realtime.

        But Im also rendering to that disc also.. is this the issue
        perhaps?


    Most probably depending on what disk buffering is set up - I'm
    guessing the file system is ext4?

    Best test is to use a new Nuke script, 4k checkerboard -> defocus
    node (with defocus set to 60 or something), view that in
    fullscreen and see if it uses more cores then.

    That eliminates disk IO completely.

    If it's still not using all the cores, put the mouse over the DAG
    and press x, then type "[set threads]" (without the quotes) and
    press OK.

    It should return a message box with: Syntax error at "x", where x
    is the number of threads Nuke is configured to use.

    Check that with how many cores you've got.

    Cheers,
    Peter
