ok boffins... Can anyone assist with a question about how
simulation and Photoview360 interact with hardware. Whenever my
machine is processing a simulation or rendering it takes some
considerable time. Nothing suprising really until I go check out
the system resource activity meters in windows. It's telling me
that each of the two cores are only being utilised to about 40% of
their capacity. Similarly, the physical memory is is only employing
about 4-5GB of the installed 8GB capacity (at most)!
Why do these operations still take so long when it seems that the system has ample power to throw at it. I can continue using the system running multiple other applications simultaneously without affecting SW chugging along in the background.
Could it be the way I have it set up perhaps. I don't use any page file but am otherwise using the hardware straight out of the box as supplied by DELL.

I'm not sure why you're only seeing 40% CPU usage with Photoview360. I'm seeing 100% on both cores the whole time I have PV360 running.
CPU usage during Simulation varies, some parts only use a single core other parts will run on multiple cores.
