huge fgmap files

[Lord Futzi Voldemort]

Anyone experienced absurdly huge fgmap files when caching fg to disk?

I just tried to render a scene with fg points from disk, and softimage froze, then crashed. I checked and found my fgmap file was over 6Gig in size for 38 HD frames. Settings: expert, 150 samples min 0,01, max 0,5. Scene has about 800 Polys.
I lowered the settings to 150/0,1/1 and now I have about 80 megs per frame for the fgmap file.
Also it seems, that when "append " is active, mr uses only one core!

can anyone confirm this?

Edit: I just found, that with every frame the fgmap size doubles!

my last fgmap was 3.56 gb for a 800.000 polygon scene. there is something wrong indeed.
