I'm trying to render a scene with over 100000 polygons (more than 12000 elements), and it takes ages every time I want to load the scene.

In Task Manager, it appears that while Octane is loading the scene it only uses one CPU core, and only uses about 10% of it. Is there any way to get Octane to use more of the available CPU power? It seems a shame to just let the other cores sit there doing nothing!

The plugin extracts the geometry from Rhino using a single core, and then Octane uses multiple cores for the voxellization process. Unfortunately using multiple cores for the geometry extraction from Rhino is not possible.
