Ok, here is what I heard somewhere, tested it and it works. How to use multicore processors to speed up darwinbots. Don't know if it was written here, but maybe it's good to repeat
In my case, I have dual core AMD turion processor. I started two simulations simultaneously. Then open task manager. Find processes Darwin 2.44.04.exe (depending on the version You are using, right click and click "set affinity" then You can assing each sim to one core. If You have more cores you can start more sims. You can connect them with teleporters to form one big sim and so on... Hope that this will help a little...

I used that method when making evosims-it's great for those, but not particularly helpful outside that, as the teleporters tend to bottleneck the environments, so you end up with very little interaction.

Oh I remember now, it was You that first descireb this method, I appologize for stealing your idea

Not at all-if I wanted nobody to steal it, I wouldn't have mentioned it (just like I never mentioned the sapient bot )

Another tip is to put the proccess priority on low so it doesn't use up your cpu when you want to use it for other stuff. Just use the task manager and go to proccessess. Find darwinbots.exe (it should be the only one useing up like 99% of your cpu) and right click it, then go to set priority and then low and then click "ok". Hope this helps.
