Pre rendering performance in iRender nXt

Is there a way to speed up the Analyzing Geometry and the Reading Batch File phase prior to rendering? I notice that these 2 phases only utilize one processor thread out of 16 available. The rendering phase does use all 16 threads. For example a 127MB interior office Sketchup 2022 file has a load time of 25m 25s and Render Time of 4m58s. Am I missing something in settings that would improve the Load Time?Processor i7-11700Storage Samsung NVMe Gen4 PCIeThanks!ToddSee More

New computer, slower rendering

Hi, I have a Sketchup 2018/RE31nxt 2018.0 user who says rendering is noticeable slower on his replacement workstation. On paper it should be on par or a little better (per forum hardware recommendations).New – Xeon 4108 (64GB RAM), 8 cores @ 1.8 = 14.4Old – Xeon E3-1240 (16GB RAM) 4 cores @ 3.5 = 14.0Is the older version of IRender nXt holding the new workstation back? Not sure if version RE31nxt 2018.0 will use all cores available. What should I be looking for to troubleshoot? Thanks,ToddSee More
