Evidently not, nish! I just loaded one plum tree and it had no problem duplicating (very quickly) all the way up to 160 of the little babies ;-)! Threw a few volumetric lights, some reflective materials and some fog and haze for good measure and it's still performing rather well, fingers and toes crossed as I type this...of course making it extremely difficult to do so with any efficiency...but things seem back to normal! Now I'm wondering HOW I got myself into this predicament in the first place...hehe?!? BTW, I'm running a P4/1.9GhZ/1GbRAM and my last pic still slowed it down to molasses-like speed;-)!! Must be all them Vikings! ==steve
