CPU at 50% during render

CPU at 50% during render

you may want to look at traces, 50% on each CPU is rare, more common is the
two inverting. I've seen it happen on large scenes and at points in the
scene where images or other data is being loaded. mr now loads image data as
it's needed rahter than all at the beginning of the frame.

It's unlikely you'll ever get as far as 2Gb accessed in windows.

I am running 4GB of memory, and it looks like its only using 1.5. Both CPU's
are running at 50%. My photon usage is not extreme, but my scene is rather
huge. Is there a way to combat this?

No simulation stuff, lots of photon stuff. Dual CPU's and the

works. Its actually a pretty basic scene, just real large-
