A little bit of hardware and tweak soft

Hi,
Hyperthreading or not?
I was looking for info about Mental ray licences with maya and i ask to myself if MentalR was running faster or not with HT enable.
So i've rendered the exact same scene in maya 2011 64 bits.

• Without HT:

I've told MentalR to use my 2 xeons: 6 threads by Xeon so 12 threads in total.

• With HT:

Now with HT we have 24 threads, and MentalR use all the threads:

Finaly, after have read all the things possible it seems that Mr take advantage of HT

1:57 vs 1:49.
