I know Lightwave is expensive and not everyone wants to go that route. I watch my processor temps in 3d apps and P5 will heat my processor up 40% more than Lightwave will and you can do a heck of a lot more in Lightwave - P5 got my 2nd processor up to 80C (I almost passed out and killed it right there).

Lightwave (big scene, texture maps and proceedurals) only gets it up to around 60C and that's with radiosity/ray tracing enabled.
Just some info
