Hi all,

is it normal for PovRay 3.7 to max all of my 4 cores on an Intel Q9450 to 100%
for the duration of the render?

It does render stuff pretty quick (renders the advanced/balcony example in under
a couple of minutes) but maxing everything at 100% is a tad worrying and the CPY
temp rises along with it.

On PovRay 3.6, when I render advanced/balcony it uses about 35% of the total CPU
usage (Core1: 80%, core2: 30%, core3: 15%, core4: 15% [rough figures based on
graph])

The temp on the CPU hardly moves when using PovRay 3.6.

Does this sound like a bug in 3.7?

thanks
