112 .SH NOTES
113 Users should seriously consider using
114 .I rpiece(1)
115 for multiprocessing
116 when irradiance caching is employed with a shared ambient file.
117 If
118 .I rtpict
119 is used with
120 .I \-n
121 greater than 1, it tries to compute neighboring parts
122 of the same scanline in different processes, which can
123 result in many redundant calculations and cache entries.
124 .I Rtpict
125 will automatically run a randomly-ordered overture calculation
126 to mitigate this problem, but it is not a perfect solution.
127 .I Rpiece
128 avoids redundant cache calculations by working on separate tiles in each
129 process, which brings other benefits as well, such as enabling the
130 .I \-ps
131 option for image plane sampling.
