Is the Inventor Studio rendering process multithreaded? Because if it isn't, will only take advantage of one processor at a time (for the main thread, which usually does all of the work).

I wonder how the award judges balance super-detailed entries (which can take several minutes to load, and several seconds to redraw), with the ones that are highly accurate in terms of constraints, dimensions and parametrization, but which omit high-overhead/low-return details like gear teeth or IC legs.
