No photorealistic render and CPU

For the first time, I test a no photorealistic render for my WIP of this month.
Normaly, I have my quad cores which works for the renders, but for the non-photorealistics renders, only one… is it normal ?

For me it is. Even when using "Draft" as the render setting, I am only getting one core working - so I often find it faster to use PR with meager settings than draft.
Unfortunately there are a few features in Carrara that are not multi-threaded. The non-photorealistic renderer is one of them. Many of the post render effects are not, such as DOF. I also don't think the original physics engine is multi-threaded, but I could be mistaken. I don't know about Bullet.
There have been feature requests to add multi-threading to the features that lack it. I would still push for it.
I think that's mentioned on a few wish lists... I hope so. That very fact is what prevents me from using those other render options more often - or even at all.
I had thought of carrying out a small animation with non photorealistic render, but I believe that I will pass to After Effects… Thank you for your answers.
I use a 3d to After Effects workflow as well. Curious if you had any specific effects in mind to recreate 'non-photorealistic' look in After Effects, because I'm having some problems with the non-realistic renderer in Carrara.
Thanks
Yes, I looked at and there are interesting effects included in AE (Esthetic), but there are also excellent effects in series BCC (Art Looks).
Here some examples:
EDIT: All of them are editable...
I have After Effects CS6 - but don't have the money to purchase add ons like Boris Continuum Complete (assume that's what BCC was?)
Any effects included with AFX that's you've found useful for approximating non-realistic renderer?
I have CS5 ant look at "Esthetic" (in french version...)
Ok - guessing that must be 'Stylize' in the English version which does have some cool effects that i just looked at, though I'd still like to get the Carrara non-realistic renderer working or figured out.
Thanks
