HD instance and multithreading

[mats]

Hi, I just got my HD instances version 2.0.8. It is really a cool tool!
I have 5min ago updated till v2.1.
But somehow it doesnt use all my 8 cores while rendering the volumetrics.
it only uses 1 core. All cores are used for the radiosity solution, but when it starts on the volumetrics it goes down to 13-18% thats 1 1/2 CPU.
I have enabled 8 cores in the render panel(also tried automatic)
I have added the pixlefilter and the volumetric filter.
It renders nicely but only on 1 core. So it takes sometime longer than i was hoping for.
Did anyone encounter the same issue?

I am using win XP64 and lightwave 3D V9.6.1

best

This seems to be an issue with the pixel filter. Generally you do not need the pixel filter. It is for emergency compositing use only :)

Ok, so it might work disabling the pixel filter? I am not at work now, but will test on monday.
