Thank you Jim. they say in the documentation you should limit your seeds to your physical cores but then they say a pro-tip - to make many seeds like 10 or more with limited gardeners like 3 so that you won't get a gardener who is just idle after it is done. I am still trying to work with it hopefully some users could contribute of their experience. I think my system doesn't have enough cores to justify hyper threading. although 4 is better than 1!

Until you hear from somebody to answer your specific question about image sequences, whenever I use Render Garden, no matter how many threads I choose - I usually choose between 6 & 12, I’ve noticed that it maxes out all my cores.  I use iStatMenus for OSX, and have CPU status icons in my menu bar.  I have a MacPro5,1, with six cores, 24 threads.  I’m probably a pretty light user of the product, and don’t fiddle with the preferences much.
