Full CPU utilization

    I've noticed that PT only uses 50% of the CPU. I guess if it used 100% then the frame-rates would be double, and loading times would be halved. So what d'you say?

    I use a Core 2 Duo and about 50% of each core is being used, in case you needed to know.

    The problem is, some people, like me, tend to have other programs running at the same time.
    Btw, I use Core 2 Duo too.

    The other problem (For someone like me) is that the powder toy doesn't support dual cores, so can only use one. I have it automatically set to use both, but it only ever uses one, which tells my computer it only uses 50%

    I have an: AMD Turion(tm) X2 Dual-Core Mobile RM-75 2.20GHz

    And since it is dual core, it only uses one
    For a small increase in speed/ FPS you could try changing the priority of TPT in task manager.

    I know someone who managed to make theirs over heat to 120c+ in half a second.

    I lol'd, I don't like Minecraft, but that sounds funny.

    Yes, lets get back on topic!


    Isn't it because PT only runs on 1 core or something?
