Craig, I was investigating why my machine is slow ‘sometimes’ (sluggish) and did the search and found the refs and was just about to ask the same thing.

It seems to be a render wrangler for Shake and Maya and I wonder if it’s taking up CPU time and if I can delete it.

Anyone?

Qmaster can also be used to cluster many of your computers together and used in conjunction with Compressor. Someday FCP might even get on board.

Though I haven’t been able to get is to work successfully. Tried the manuals, and they really don’t go in to detail (Where’s the idiot section???) I think I am doing 1 thing wrong, but I haven’t figured that 1 thing out yet. Someday….

[Rick Dolishny]

Is it a process that runs in the background using up cycles?

Can I delete it and will FCP and OSX continue to run fine?
