NXT cpu usage

[chen ray]

hi guys any idea if i can limit the usage on the cpu when nxt is rendering ?

just changed a 64 bit computer and noticed nxt used 99% of the cpu and when i try to run other application, it is almost difficult to run smoothly.

 

when runing the nxt i still have 4gb of ram left but uses 99% of the cpu

task manager - processes - acad.exe - rightclick - Set Affinity. Thus you could allow it to run on only three cores of four ....

The threads do run in low priority mode. On most machines other applications run just fine.

 

If you must, there is a hidden AutoLisp command called (nxtthreads #) that restricts nXt to a maximum number of threads.  For example (nxtthreads 3) restricts the program to 3 worker threads.  Currently the default is to set the threads to twice the number of cores.
