Important computer specs (cpu clock, nr of cores/threads, ram, etc.) if you want rtrace to compute faster?

I am looking for a hardware solution that will be able to run rtrace, specifically illuminance (point-in-time and annual) simulations fast, relatively speaking. What is the optimum choice? For instance, multiple threads clocked lower or less threads clocked really high? Do ram or hard-drive have any impact too?
