Just for the record:
Very good multi-threading:

The multhithreding of 3D Max is as good as the multithreading of encoding applications. Max is not memory intensive but CPU intensive and it scales well. Encoders are memory intensive so therefore can't scale as well without proportional badwidth scaling!! Capisci?
