Thanks for the reply

Based on your inputs I tried to run with and without +WT1 option and check how
many no of threads of running

I could see that multiple threads were getting opened. But with +WT1 option one
thread was having like >12% CPU utilisation and others less than < 0.01.
Meanwhile with +I options I got two threads > 12% utilisation and others < 0.01

Assuming that the CPU threads refers to the trace time, is there any similar
ways to minimise number of threads or impact of threads on photon time and
radiosity time. Screenshots of CPU Utilisation are attached for reference
