Will higher ram result in faster plotting times?

[codinghorror]

Possibly! People tend to add threads in batches of 2 for some reason, but I’d be curious to see a test of 3 threads vs 2 vs 4. I did some testing of my own here:

Comparing Plot parameters for threads, memory, and staggering

This graph (it’s for 1.0.4 so it is, as of this writing, up to date) is magical! [image] Here it is in a more readable side by side format [image] This is such a great resource! Note that it is “only” 2 threads, but 2 threads is the default. It indicates to me you that you want to stagger at about the 55% point right after P2 completes, during P3? In the past I compared giving plots a lot of memory and it barely improved plot times, and others have reported that going to 6 threads also b…
