when I do an opengl render, it pops up the scen in about 2 seconds...unbelievable... propably closer to 5 min or more otherwise... I was watching the render line..it slows to a crawl at eyes... and anywhere there is heavy transparency...

Humankind has not woven the web of life. We are but one thread within it.
Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves. All things are bound together.
All things connect......Chief Seattle, 1854
