On my local 2 core machine I can render a specific blend file in about 15 minutes, on my 9 core loki render farm with the local 2 core runnin as master and grunt, the same file takes over 30 minutes?
All machines running ubuntu 14, 64bit. I have tried it with more render frames and less, more seems to work a bit better but my farm with almost 5 times as many cores is still half the speed. Why?

Ok I just tried a much more complex single frame render, on my 2 core machine it completed in 8 hours + a bit, on a 10 core render farm its done in just about 3 hours. I'm seeing the benefits now, thanks for this excellent software.
