Yes, but bear in mind once you guys start changing things in Poser you aren't testing your computers any more, you are testing changes in Poser. wimvdb- I noticed that too, unlike Poser 4 which tends to get slightly faster on the second render. Does P5 access the drive at all during the render? (I can't tell as my HD light isn't connected yet.) I also noticed with the big bucket sizes P5 sometimes just sits there after the render is done, with the "rendering.." box still open, sometimes for 30 seconds or so. Sometimes it seems if you wiggle the mouse it will pop it out of this state. Weird.
