Filter Forge - CPU only at 50%

oz42 3D-Visualist.com Posts: 10	Having just upgraded to the final release of FF today I thought some of the filters were rendering a bit slow. I ran Activity Monitor and although all cores are running when I render, they're all running at 50%! Any ideas?

oz42 3D-Visualist.com Posts: 10	thanks for getting back to me. No, I have 'Use all CPUs / cores' active. The Max Ram is set to 60% but with 6GB, that should be fine. Attached is a post of Activity Monitor going from nothing to rendering. There is a small 100% spike as things get going but then everything settles down to 50% - very confusing?
