I haven't actually tried to benchmark the render times, but it appears that grouping all the objects in a scene before rendering can reduce times noticeably, especially if there are a lot of Bryce primatives. I noticed it when I was rendering the Scorpion I made out of mostly spheres. Anyone else notice this?
