Hi Brad,
That was what I thought too. It's xinetd that takes care of firing up
ray sat when the port is triggered. I checked the config and tried
manually calling that raysat executable it runs. It confirmed MR 3.3
and looked normal enough.
If we really need to speed the render up we'll just go with a
subregion and split it over a few machines.
Cheers,
Alan.
