Behold the birth of the Zbench. This should be implemented into a standalone version for people to test their performance. I tried the preferences>performance>test multithreading and this is what I got:
single - 23.983
threaded - 16.57
This is on a dual Xeon 1.7ghz (256cache) with a gig of rdram. Everyone should try it out and post their results and specs here. Give everyone else an idea of performance and hardware. Go on give it a shot
single 16.924
multi 11.654
Dual Xeon 2.40GHz
2 gigs ram
Just tested my other system with it:
single - 12.076
thread - 9.98
P4 3ghzC 1gig ddr
interesting… would be nice to see some AMD tests too. Thanks for replies people.
Ok I managed to get a friend of mine to test it on his AMD.
single: 11.350998
multi: 11.709999 (AMD has no HT and this is single proc)
amd 2600+ (~2.1ghz)
1gig ddr
interesting
I tried it on my laptop (p4 mobile 1GHz, 512MB)
Single: 34.529
Multi : 34.537
i got single 13.897
multi 9.185
33% increase
dual xeon 2.4 2 gigs ram quadro 4 980xgl
Single: 13.485
Multi: 13.375999
AMD Atholon XP 2400+ (~2.0ghz)
1GB DDR PC2100
lower values are better or worse?
P4 : 1.6 Ghz
512Mo Ram
single: 25.077
multi: 29.17
hah
Pilou lol that seems to be an old atari benchmarker ?_?
anyway, its inside zbrush, in the preferences menu
and lower seems better
AMD XP 1800+
1GB RAM,
Single: 16.653
Multithreaded: 16.543
wait until get my dual xeon
Dual Opteron 248
Single Thread = 9.244
Double = 5.863
Single: 11.437
Multi : 9.26
P4 2.8 GHz, 2 GB 400 MHz DDR ram
Hmm, that Opteron looks tasty
So is for that I have asked the question
This function seems don’t exist on the 1.55b

Hi Frenchy,
The feature is in ZB2. Under Preferences->Performace->Multithreaded.
It’s really designed to let you know wheather or not you should use multithreading on your computer. Using multi threading on the wrong computer will hampper performance of ZB2.
I have supposed that

Running a P4 3.0 Ghz processor with 1 Gb Dram
I got the following results …
Single Thread = 11.078
Multi Thread = 9.09
Multithreading resulted in 17.9% speed increase
Multithreading is recommended for this system.
What I am not quite sure of is if you have to enable multithreading or not. and if so How?
Anyways thanks for starting this thread it was something I been meaning to ask for some time.
