When will we be seeing multiprocessor support in Punch software?
Imagine what the performance would be like if you could use your 4 or 6 processors at once!

rendering, i.e. generating 'dumb' raster data, can be sliced nicely in several ribbons which can be spreaded over several threads/cores. Modeling operations not, at least I dunno no recent modeler capable in doing this.

Currently only in the PhotoRendering. Spatial announced with R23 some multi-threading for facetting.

Hopefully V9. However R23 is not yet ready for Mac. Spatial is still 4-6 weeks away from releasing the mac version. Still getting clarification on whether multiprocessor support is available for mac as well as the new direct SolidWorks translator.
