Scott,
The hash_max setting changes the maximum linear dimension of the
three-dimensional hash table used by PyMOL's internal ray-tracer.
Worst-case memory usage increases as the third power of this number (i.e.
doubling hash_max can increase RAM usage by up to 800%), but that's a rare
sce
Hi Warren
I set hash_max to 250 and this appears to be helping significantly.
Thanks. What exactly to these numbers mean? What is the default? If
hash_max 250 is speeding things up will hash_max 500 be even better?
Thanks,
Scott

Scott,
The optimal hash_max is somewhat scenery-dependent, but values in
the 180-250 range tend to be best for multiprocessor situations with lots of
RAM.
Cheers,
Warren

Hello Fellow PyMOLers,
I have submitted a huge movie (i.e. 520 frames rendered at 1280x854)
job to pymol on one of our linux grunts. PyMOL, much to my surprise
actually recognized that the grunt has two multithreaded processors and
subsequently split the rendering job amongst the available proc
