Sorry its taken so long to answer your questions Tim... I have experienced what you described - under some circumstances its impact can be avoided. I've recently updated from a P2 450 to a P4 2.66 based system. On the old system doing anything (animation or still pictures) with more complex poser models (such as Victoria 3) involved turning the settings right down to box. Less complex figures (Victoria 2 without a high resolution texture) was possible for still work but not animations without applying the suggestions I previously made. With simple Poser figures it was possible to work with it without any significant performance problems. With my new system I havn't had a great deal of time to play with animation yet (which is a shame because it was one of the main driving forces behing upgrading). The few bits of messing around I've done so far suggest that if the poser figures in the scene arn't too complex or there arn't too many of them I can get what I consider to be acceptable performance from the time line. In the end I think a lot of this comes down to how complex the Poser parts of the scene are.
