Did something change in 12.2 with RAM preview? I feel like it is taking *forever* to begin rendering. I'm not talking about the speed at which it renders once it begins, because that is what it is and doesn't seem any different. But I feel like since having gone to 12.2, I spend way more time looking at "Rendering Frame 2 of xxx requested" than I ever did before. I've looked at my memory & disk cache settings, and nothing seems to have changed there, so I don't know what's going on.
Here are my specs & settings:
iMac 27" Mid 2010
2.93 i7
AE 12.2
Disk cache: 100GB on internal hard drive
Installed RAM: 16 GB
Ram Reserved for other applications: 4 GB
Render Multiple Frames Simultaneously - checked
Installed CPUs: 8
CPUs reserved for other applications: 0
Ram allocation for background CPU: 2 GB
Actual CPUs that will be used: 4
I feel like this *just* started with 12.2. Is that possible?
