I'm slicing some big project for 0.2mm nozzle and its taking realy long to calculate supports and it doesn't use many resource is there a way to optimist (i alred changed the gpu for my dedicated one)

there is no setting in Orca to speed up the slicing, that speed is determined by the number of vectors in the g-code and the device that orca is running on. It's CPU, amount of memory and the GPU.
The only way to reduce the number of vectors in the g-code is increasing the Layer height or the rsolution, both also reducing the print quality.
If i try and slice a model with over 1 million vectors even on my laptop with 64 GB , Intel(R) Core(TM) Ultra 9 275HX and a Nvidia RTX 5070-TI, it will take a while. in any slicer.

As I understand it, the other issue is that OrcaSlicer is a single core software, so it cannot utilize multiple cores from the CPU.

the main portion of the slicing has to be sequential. you cant generate a toolpath without knowing the last position. the built-in post processing features are already multi-threaded
