Don’t have an answer, just that I’m seeing the same effect having just upgraded system from P4 2.8 GHz HT (which maxed to 100% on “both” CPUs during render) to Q6600 @ 3.0 GHz which drives all 4 to about 50% during renders. Overall the Quad is about 6 to 8 times as fast as the older one… just wondering what could be done to drive it harder!

I’ve sent this same request to Sony for response and nothing is coming back. I’m getting the feeling that networked rendering is some sort of red herring… they make it so hard to set up that you can’t ever figure out that it really doesn’t work. Sounds great in theory though. Sigh!

Here’s a link to such a topic at the Sony Forum:

Sony might do well to actually promote/describe/tutorialize this feature a little better and make it possible for people to actually use it. Most of what I’ve seen in terms of “here’s how it works” is merely a re-hash of the online help already provided by Sony. Probably going dual/quad-core is a better boost than distributed rendering.

I couldn’t find anything specifically helpful in Edward’s archive.

Everyone who’s actually made it work, please raise your hand. Ah-ha. I see!
