RT slow to start when using nodes

[3LP]

Hi there

We experimenting some trouble with RT when we spawning.
RT thake really a long time to start rendering when we use the nodes.
I don't know why, if I don't use the nodes, RT loads up in 10 sec, when we use the nodes, it takes 10 of minutes to start, impossible to use...
The more nodes I use, the more time it takes to load.
The thing is, it's nothing to do with the load of the network I think, I monitor the server and the nodes and they are definitely not bottle necking like when we are spawning with the Production render.
Well at least I think it's not that, so is there something else that may slow the process?
it's really slow when it's doing "New data index".

Any ideas?

Thanks

This has to do with transferring the scene to the render nodes through the network; unfortunately the time for this right now is exponential in the number of render nodes. So it makes more sense to use fewer but more powerful nodes. We have developed a solution for torrent-like distribution of the data which we use for our Beehive project, but I don't know yet when it will make into V-Ray.
