Rendering does not use 100% CPU
Hi,

It may be an odd question (and maybe better suited to Sunflow's forum), but:

Does anyone experience low CPU usage during rendering ?
When I render, my CPU utilisation is at around 60% (javaw.exe process)
I thought it should be almost 100%, since Sunflow creates a thread for each core.

I've tested this on two machines:
- Core I7 860 (4 cores, 8 threads)
- Phenom II 950 (4 cores, 4 threads)

I'm wondering whether it's something funny about my machines (or my SH3D scene).

Anyone ?
