All I can say is, "oh no!"
I upgraded my 2009 Mac Pro firmware to 5,1 then upgrade the CPUs to two 6-core processors, upgraded to 1333 memory, turned it on, works...life was good!!
I migrated my Macbook Pro user files over to the hot rodded mac pro. Smooth sailing.
Now I wanted to see how fast it would render a file in blender..so loaded up a file and rendered...hmmm pretty fast. Lets see how much faster than my Macbook pro i7.
I started blender on the MBP and loaded the same file......
