Best to keep the textures in the runtime poser gets really narked when you move them out, what tasquah said is very good advice to follow too. If you have an NT based windows (XP/Win2k) you can use Task Manager to raise poser's priority to Above Normal when it's running, this will assign it more processor time which speeds it up slightly. Don't go over Above Normal or Windows may start acting up. Memory is another good thing to have lots of, all versions of Poser like to have plenty of Ram to spread out in so the more you feed it the better it'll behave :)
