With big frames like that, the resource under the most demand will be memory, not CPU.

At some point you've taken up all your RAM, or doing too much I/O. In our testing most projects do get a boost from extra processes, sometimes as many as 12. But yours is not most projects, so maybe you'll have to stick with 1 process per computer. Download it and experiment. > > But even with only one Gardener per computer, I think you'll like the workflow of RenderGarden where you queue up a series of tasks and then your computers grind away on them. By watching your filesystem, you can get an idea of the progress they're making. Again, not as sophisticated as Tractor, but a lot cheaper and it works out of the box. > > Speaking of cheaper, you only need to buy RenderGarden for the machine you're working on.
