    Default Revit and Quad Core... set affinity worth while?

    Hello:

    I'm wondering if Revit's performance will improve on a quad core system if you set the application's CPU affinity to a single core, and exclude all other applications from that same core.

    You might gain a little bit on large projects...not sure if it'll be noticeable. Too bad it has to be done every time one restarts

    Could try SMP Seesaw Pro

    "...SMP Seesaw provides a convenient means to change the processor affinities for all running programs at once. In particular, the most common use is to dedicate one of your processors to a single program, thereby improving the performance or responsiveness of that program..."

    Tried it and works better than doing it manually in the task manager. However, you still have to do it each time a user logs in. Hmmmm we need a script
