Two Easy Questions

xslf · 11-19-2002, 10:16 AM

* When I use the "automatic lighting" setting, I notice that it goes thrugh the whole cycle in about 20 sec. Is it supposed to be that fast? How can I slow it down a bit?

* Just wondering: I am running SSA on a Daul G4/450 (512 MB ram, osx 10.2.2, standard video card)- does SSA know how to use both proccesors, or does it ignore the onther one?

The light cycle is pretty fast. Adding a cycle speed controller is on the feature request list.

SSA is not explicitly multithreaded. The bottleneck is the video card, not the CPU.

Thanks for the quick replay :-)

We aim to please!

One of the great things about working on SSA is that users like it and generally are pretty happy to let us know that.
