Hello Peter,
The CPU utilization with new solver is getting lower when using CPUs with many cores as it requires more synchronization than the CG solver.
From our experience, even on 2x8 cores Xeon with QCG CPU utilization of ~64%, it is a lot faster than the CG.
As always, we will look if further optimizations are possible.
Color ramps are located under the Fire Color Tab and Smoke Color Tab rollout.
For VDB output choose VDB under Files of type list box located at the bottom of the files save dialog.
