X4 Ray Tracing - Optimal CPU

[Allen Brown]

James,

Post script:

Have you tried running several intances of Chief at the same time and seeing if that loads up the cores more effectively?

It's am old Chief trick:
After starting Chief Architect once, start another session while holding down the <Ctrl> key. Then with 2 instances of Chief open, run the ray tracer in each.... halves the overall time?

Hypothesis:
With 8 cores, run 4 sessions of Chief and ray trace 4 plans at the same time.

Cheers.

Ian, you sure about that? You cannot open the same plan in two sessions of Chief, unless you do a "file>save-as" and change the name.
