I am currently deploying pov-ray on a system with 8 physical cores, however
when executed, povray will only use 2 threads to render the entire image.
Is there some .ini file I need to edit or some commandline parameter to
enable more threads when rendering?

Not sure I can answer with 100% certainty, yet maybe if you run POV adding 
to the command-line /threads 8 (or whatever number). Been a while since I 
even checked into this sort of thing.

I think this is correct for Windows but I'm not sure about it for different 
platforms.

There's also a WorkThreads=8 INI variable, or -wt8 (again, using whatever 
number needed) on the command-line to limit the maximum used, as I 
understand it anyhow.

Maybe somebody could correct me if wrong, please?
