After Effects CC 2017; Multiprocessing?

I haven't updated to CC 2017 yet, but it sounds as if they've made significant performance improvements to the render engine since CC 2015.  Considering this, has anybody tried it yet?  Is it still less efficient than CC 2014's "Render Multiple Frame Simultaneously" option?  In terms of rendering muli-layer compositions with many different transformation and distortion effects, is it wiser to stay on CC 2014 where I still have access to multiprocessing or should I invest the time to try out CC 2017?  Let me know how it works for you.

      Is it still less efficient than CC 2014's "Render Multiple Frame Simultaneously" option?

      Yes, it is. It still only chews through the layers directly involved in rendering the current frame of the active comp, though it seems to do so more relaibly and a tad faster than the CC 2015 stuff.

      Thanks for the response.  I sure hope that they find out how to incorporate mutiprocessing soon.  I don't want to stay on CC 2014 forever.

      I also hope they bring back the MXF OP1A AVC-Intra codecs in a newer version.  I don't understand why they got rid of those.

        I'm sticking with 2014 as well.  Just tried out the new C4D engine and it's slower than the raytrace in 2014.  Yup, the old raytrace engine in 2014 is faster than the new C4D engine.   It's so frustrating that the ball has been dropped soooo badly with AE but yet I'm forced to continue my financial relationship with Adobe.   I would very much like to express my dissatisfaction by ending my relationship with them but I need it for work.  Their products have become bloated piles of shit.
