The token could very well have been named threads in plural,
because it's the amount of threads MR should use.
And is NOT the same as setting the (entire) XSI process affinity to use
only 7 threads (via TaskManager)
which can give general computer responsiveness,
but does'nt at-all change
That's a little gem. Thanks Jason.

You can adjust vanishing x and y vanishing lines and scale the whole

It's invoked in the image importer dialog.

If you multiply the weight by say 10 or so to get out of the [0, 1] range, then
round that to an interger, and plug it into Iterations, you crash as described.
But if you save that integer as a custom attribute, then get it and plug it
into Iterations, it seems to work fine.

One thing you can do to speed it up a bit in your case is to transform the
