Victor,
I just purchased a new Dell Precision 7510 (Intel i7-6820HQ and Quadro M1000M).
I checked the graphics and screen drivers and they were up to date. For some reason, Mecway is blurry. I tried scaling at 100%, 125% and 150%. Fonts are too small at 100% so they would not be good for me. I prefer the 150% scaling to see better on a 15" laptop screen though but everything is so blurry. This is also true when I installed Mecway on a 4k screen being scaled at 250%. Everything in Mecway is blurry (not as clear and sharp)
Screenshots are attached. Any comments? Thanks

1) Right-click on the program icon (not the shortcut) and choose properties.
2) Click the "Compatibility" tab.
3) Check the box labeled "Disable display scaling on high DPI settings".
Hopefully it will then let Mecway scale itself instead of doing pixel-scaling which seems to be what you're getting now.
Regards.
Sergio, have you able to set the environment variable in Mecway? Can you show me how? Thanks. I was reading this: http://www.bconverged.com/calculix/doc/ccx/html/node3.html
There's no total run-time in ccx so I'm not sure how much faster is it now.
For big problems and long runs sometimes I would set to 7 in order to have one for doing something else with the computer.
Also attached is the results of the tests using 2nd and 6th Generation Intel i7 processors. I used a stopwatch so there are +/- few seconds errors.
If you would like me to run your model on this new processor to see if there any improvement, send me the model if they are not to big. I'm assuming you are using Mecway and CCX. I'll keep the model confidential and delete it after the run.
I'm curious if SSD would improve the runtime though.
