With an installation of Houdini Indie running under HQueue, what is the expected overhead?

A 3 machine setup is leaving a lot of performance on the table. i.e. a local render takes of grid takes 5 secs, via HQueue using the same machine, takes 80 sec.

Mixed environment, Mac / Linux

I have the same issue. HQ was blocked and idle for a very long time before working.

That's pretty standard, expect between 1 and 5 minutes of overhead per task on any renderfarm solution.

It is not the case for older version pre H18.

EDIT:

This problem is solved by changing server's name to IP address.
