I upgraded to Version 5.5.0

I am in the middle of cleaning up some animation.

I noticed that on average Vikpea is using 40 to 70% of the CPU and 85% RAM.

Ram: 16GB. 11th Gen Intel(R) Core™ i7-11700K @ 3.60GHz (3.60 GHz)

Meanwhile it’s only using 12 to 40% of the GPU. (RTX 3060 Ti).

Meaning it taking 2 hrs and 45 to cleanup a 22 min (1920x1080) animation.

I’m just wondering if that’s reasonable processing time for V5.5.0; and/or should it being using the GPU more?

Just curious.

thank you.
