I knew it was slower... but things rendering at 1/2 speed. when you are using 1 or 2 lights it's not a big deal.. Instead of 10 second to render and image it takes 13.. 3 seconds is not a big deal.. I can live with that.. but when you are using.. say 20 lights with shadow.. that can turn into an extra 40 seconds.. on a 1 minte render.. now that sucks! oh well...
