3ds max issue affecting performance of 3rd party plugins?

[mike.edel]

while looking for something else i stumbled over this thread:

seems max has an issue with highly threaded 3rd party plugins (renderers anyone?) and multiple-cpu machines that degrades rendering performance (at least for brazil users)

might be interesting to some of the dual-machine users

i have no clue if this applies to vray though

Pretty interesting, I'm testing it, thx for sharing.

Interesting ... i'll be testing this tomorrow ... thanks for the heads up.

anyone tested this?

How about the Dual-core machines? Anybody heard anything about these being effected?

[DaForce]

doesnt matter if its dual core, dual cpu or HT. If its a SMP/Multithreaded system then you are at risk of being affected by this problem.

I for one will try to test it out tonight or tomorrow.

I'm on rendering with the script during 5 h now on a bixeon and no pbl, but not noticable gain.
