So apparently running massive EM solver simulations makes my workstation draw enough power compared to normal usage that it shows up in the lab-wide power usage graphs. I wonder how much more it'll p...

And which is more energy efficient if I'm not in a hurry.

Am i better off using more cores for less time then idling, or just a few for a long time?
