    Hello,

    I have a lot experiece with MacOSX application but very few with XP based apps.
    I am now running PTgui in XP, an app for stitching VR panorama images.

    Besides PWS there are no other apps running in OSX.

    When using the same kind of apps in OSX the processor is always running at high load but when running PTGui in PWS beta3 I noticed that the proccessor load is not more then 35-40 % so obviously the stitch job requires more time then nessecary.
    The allocated memory to PWS beta3 is 650 MB, the XP memory 512 MB.
    I have a MBP 2GHz with 2GB paired RAM.

    Q) What can I set different in OSX-PWS-XP to speed up the math and to use more of my proccessor power.

    Regards Wim.

    Assuming you're not experiencing excessive hard disk activity e.g. lots of virtual memory access, the processor load that you're getting is not something PW is 'holding back', so to speak. In this case, even if you ran the application in a purely native environment I expect it to take a similar amount of processor load.
