Default Re: Mac Octo 2.26: Almost no difference between 2 Cores and 8 Cores

In my case, as I increase cores, the Mac system meter shows increasing stress, but much more than the PT meter.

And the strange thing is, that anything over 8 cores gives diminishing performance, both on the PT meters and in actual amount of processing available before glitching occurs. 15 threads gives worse performance than 8.

There is also a big discrepancy between the Mac meter and the PT meter. On the session I'm working on right now, if I select 2 threads, the Mac meter shows 7%, but the PT meter shows about 40%, peaking up to 50%+.

Also, the PT useage meter seems to show almost no change as I decrease cores all the way down to one or two.
