Satellite Hosts taking several seconds to be added


#1

Hey guys,

I was wondering if anyone knows why the mental ray satellite hosts would take about at least 10 seconds each to be added at the beginning of a render. I tested VRay for Maya recently, and their distributed rendering system adds the hosts almost instantly. With mentalRay, there’s a very annoying delay at the beginning of a new render sequence, where it seems like I have to wait almost a minute for all my slaves to get added.

Is there any way to fix this?
