Speaking as a user and not a foundry employee, this is an across the board feature of windows. From the late 90's back when Microsoft bought Softimage and all the dcc apps were ported to windows to now there was always a 10-15% slowdown on windows. My Maya/houdini/shake/etc... scenes ran considerably faster with more geo and a smaller memory footprint.
*Foundry employee back on :). Even our recent Modo port to Linux runs faster and more memory efficient over Windows. -deke On Tuesday, September 17, 2013, Neil Rognvaldr Scholes wrote: > I gave up with windows 7 - its just a constant admin job, fixing and > cleaning. > Windows never again :) > > Neil Rognvaldr Scholes > > +44 (0) 7977 456 197www.uvfilms.co.uk > > On 17/09/13 10:09, Bram Ttwheam wrote: > > We're doing some pipeline testing ( which is still not complete ) and > yesterday we rendered the same comp > containing 3D projections , Z-defocus and roto work on 2 identical > machines .
