Hi Colin -

thanks for the tip - i just tried - it does give the same results

Nuke does read my 16 threads - even at start up

It seems this is how Nuke handles things...

Some nodes are single-threaded only, so not everything can be multi-threaded, but a fair amount of stuff should (disk IO allowing) run across as many cores as you tell Nuke to, at least on Linux (Nuke on Windows has a few more issues in this area that the Nuke team are currently looking into).

Did you try my suggestion of the defocus node as a simple script, just to check that Nuke's config is okay to allow it to use all the threads?

If that does work (use all your cores fully), then it's either disk IO contention (the disk trying to read and write at the same time) or a certain Nuke node in your tree that's preventing it. Some 3D nodes (DisplaceGeo especially) are single threaded-only for some things.
