Thredripper or Ryzen? - Use of multiple threads and cores

[Warren Baird]

Are there specific tools you are using that are problematic? and on what 
size of image?

I've got a somewhat older high-end ryzen - a Ryzen 9 5950X, and on a 
30Mpx image, most of the tools I tried were so instantaneous I couldn't 
see any CPU usage.   I tried a 'noise reduction', and that took a few 
seconds, and seemed to be making pretty good usage of all cpus.

I have no idea how that would scale to a threadripper though...

If you want to send me an image, and a couple of tools you'd like to see 
the performance of, I'm happy to try it out and let you know how it 
works on my machine.
