Rendering does not use full CPU

[Martin Moores]

I'm sure the list will appreciate this being your last post

How rude, insulting and thoughtless your comments are here.

Feedback is one thing, which I have no doubt is appreciated, but your
messages are not helpful at all.

As you have found, there are other options out there, great if they work
for you, go and champion and recommend them to others.  I just hope their
mailing lists are ready for you when you find the next problem.

Free software is just that at the end of the day, you seem to have higher
expectations.  There are endless commercial options, with paid support,
where you may be better suited
