<p>Hi Frank,</p>
<p>I'm no expert, but I noticed you mentioned having 4G of RAM. This might be a bottle neck, especially on a Win7 system. You might want to add more RAM (8 or 12Gb should be sufficient)</p>
<p></p>
<p>Also if I'm not mistaken using a 64bit version helps.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Regards,</p>

<p>There isn't much you can do, in fact there's almost nothing you can do. As mentioned, Grasshopper does not execute components in parallel, but that wouldn't help anyway because if it did then Kangaroo would still just run the entire simulation on a single thread. Every component can decide whether or not it wants to run its logic on multiple threads. Grasshopper won't stop it from doing so. <span style="font-size: 13px;">I believe the current implementation of Kangaroo is single threaded,…</span></p>

<p></p>
<p>Since processors aren't getting faster any more, you can't just go and buy a newer processor and make things go faster. These days, when you buy a newer processor what you get instead is more logical cores, which isn't going to help you in the slightest.</p>
<p></p>
<p>The only thing you <em>can</em> do is buy faster RAM (more RAM probably doesn't help, but faster RAM will). However I think the cost/benefit ratio on this is very poor, you'll end up spending a lot of money and not getting much in return.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Until the software you use can actually handle multithreading you're stuck with your current speed.</p>
