A strange question to me too. Poser and Vue are not the same type of programs. The import option in Vue for Poser scenes is there to offer more possibilities to Vue users not to simply render Poser scenes. So i think to compare the two regarding render speed does not make a lot of sense. When you import a Poser scene only the geometrical information (including materials/textures) is imported. No camera no light settings etc. So you have to do that again. And maybe you have to manipulate the materials too because each program reacts a little different here (the difference between opening and importing). So what you gain (iff Vue is faster) i think you are losing because you have to do extra work. What is sure is, that in the combination of Vue and Poser you gain a lot more creative options and possibilities so your images will be a lot "richer" - not saying that everything isnt possible in one program. I think we had a similar discussion here before (differences in rendering between Poser and Vue) - with some examples. Maybe you try to find those discussions via search.
