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