112 .SH NOTES
113 Users should seriously consider using
114 .I rpiece(1)
115 when irradiance caching is employed with a shared ambient file.
116 If
117 .I rtpict
118 is used in multiprocessing mode with a shared irradiance cache,
119 it is trying to compute almost
120 the same part of the same scanline in different processes, which
121 results in many redundant calculations.
122 The
123 .I rpiece
124 program avoids this by working on separate tiles in each
125 process, with less overlap in the indirect irradiance calculation.
126 Either program will benefit from an "overture" run of a
127 single-process rpict to create the ambient file using a low-resolution
128 rendering that is discarded, but this will not completely solve the
129 problem for
130 .I rtpict.
