i didnt optimise or use latest hardware - i like to test on older systems - so this is not optimised to get best performance.
2009 mac pro 2.26GHz 8 core 10.6.4 GT120 - ssd
tests with gt120 ( which isnt great and is not recommended ) - on old mtron ssd - 1920x1080 output

first file is range of codecs from photojpeg to prores
second file shows 1080p AIC 6-7 layers - 30 different aic files
third file 20 layers 720x576 AIC

performance tests are not in show context and every machine needs to be tested by end users

this is only a general indicator not a specification
Hi Richard, is it possible that you provide some test files in different resolutions so that I can test my machine with the similar files that you use and compare.

Can you comment on quad cores machines and 8 cores machine. Will the 8 cores machines be able to run more layers than the quad cores since you mention that 10.6.x uses all cores.
