Renderpower not at 100%

[Balu]

Hello!

At the moment I am rendering an animation with imported STEP objects (PowerTranslator BREP).
I have realized something strange concerning the CPU usage on the render clients.

- Laptop and older PCs (single or dual core): CPU usage = 100% (each core)
- QuadCore PC (1 CPU with 4 cores): CPU usage = 88% (each core)
- Dual Xeon Quad (2 CPU with each 4 cores): CPU usage = 33% (each core)

I have no idea where this comes from. But I think I did not realize it while rendering non-BREP scenes. So it might have something to do with the PT.
Is this a known issue?

Regards,
Mirko

Dual xeon dual core here, no probs. I'll check the other two nodes soon.
