I have a Dell P4 3GHz with 2GB RAM, running XP and Terragen 0.09.43
My final render (4000x3000) took over 30 hours to complete, and yet only ever used 50% CPU and about 200MB RAM, when there was clearly much more computing power available. I was not using any other apps (except for TRAM render manager) and the 'system idle' process was the next highest user of CPU. Masses of RAM remained available.
I tried making the Terragen process 'realtime' priority in the Task Manager and this did nothing.
Does anyone know how to improve the render times of Terragen? Presume Render Memory Buffer setting may improve things but cannot find out what I should set this to?
If I did buy a faster CPU or add more RAM, would this make a difference?
Any help gratefully received!
Regards,
Jon.
