Hi there people!

I noticed some drastic increase in processing time when using point lights, compared to the other kinds of light.
I noticed the difference when using IPR render, and the delay occurs when updating the image and not when rendering it for the first time.

Did anybody observe that, or there maybe something wrong I'm doing?

Thx.

Mário.

Hey I discovered when this happens my cpu usage (on the windows task manager) goes to 100%.
Think there's something to do w/ my hardware, right?

Sorry bother fellas...
