-for daily use (not rendering) it's better this is disabled

Ah, but think of all the time you're now going to waste while your emails open up 1.4x slower!

That is quite funny. Maybe they'r running off 5 year old information, it hasnt always been worth turning on.

I am almost never not rendering.

I had my scene texture mapped so I hit render and ran to the restroom. Typically, on my old workstation, it would have taken a few hours, or so. I expected to stop it while it was calculating the light cache. But, to my amazement, 4k was completely done in 17 minutes. I had displacement and grass, but no trees or landscaping. Tomorrow, I'll deck the scene out with trees and landscaping; can't wait to see how it runs totally complete.

So you took your usual 2 hour poop, only to find you'll now have to cut it down to 17 minutes! This may take some training.

What was your previous workstation? If it would have taken a few hours before that's an improvement of at least about 8x (assuming your previous renders took at least 2 hours).

Okay, smart asses! I usually wait until the light cache has time to process a little bit. After a few minutes, I'll cancel the render and tweak. When I ran to the restroom, I expected to see the light cache when I returned (couple minutes), but what I saw was a final render. It was a final render that would have taken hours on my ole i7 machines.

Bobby... still liking your machine? Did you get it refurbished?

Would you consider running this test and tell us what you get?

I'm running 2.5, it's a 3.0 scene, correct? I'm liking the computer. It was refurbished
