Hi Guys,
i am doing "Render-Tests" in After Effects CC the last 1,5 hours....
And now i am at a point where i dont understand the Multiprocessing Settings any more....
My Machine:
i7 3770k
16 GB RAM
GTX 660 Ti (Cuda)
running OsX ML
I tried several Settings, there are 3 Options in the "Multiprocessing Window" to take....
Here is an example of the Settings-Window (not mine):

(1)
Reserved RAM
(on picture 4GB)
(2)
CPU's reserved
(on picture 12 CPUs)
(3)
RAM Allocation
(on picture 1,5GB)
I will write my test-settings in this style (1)_(2)_(3) and came to following results:
(tests are done with the same video settings, same length, etc.....)
4_2_2 = 1.38 min.
4_2_1 = 1.38 min.
3_1_1 = 1.55 min.
8_2_1 = 1.40 min.
4_2_3 = 1.30 min.
4_2_4 = 8 sec. !!!!!!!
The crazy thing is, the best result i got with 4 GB Reserved RAM, 2 CPU's reserved, and 4GB for Background CPU... But AE says 0 actual CPU's used...
Here is a picture of my actual FASTEST settings:
