P1-3 on Dual Core – Seems to Only Use 1 Core
My XP Home system allocates both cores for most of my other system intensive apps, such as Sony Vegas Pro 8. I.e. when rendering out a Vegas file, my GUI cpu meters show both cores in use in parallel at full tilt.
Not PI for some reason–and this is where I really need all the horsepower possible for it can get as slow as 2 fps at times in an ip3 file. This occurs even when setting PI to “Real Time” (highest priority) with Task Manager. As far as L2 cache, XP sets that automatically.
Q: Is there any way to work around this or is it something in PI that is not allowing full dual core allocation/use?Note: While I have an albeit old dual-core (Pentium D) it’s not that slow or out-dated, it just runs hotter than the new ones.
Thanks.

Thanks for response.
Perhaps it’s way to difficult to implement multi-core access unless one unless one is some multi-national corp. with a mega-millions budget for in A&R.
But it certainly would be something of great and practical value considering that PI is a sophisticated program that could benefit accessing all the horsepower possible, and that the general hardware industry is going in the multi-core direction.
IMO.
