Umm...odd. P6 user here. I just stopped this render to call it a night (doing a test). And will continue on this tmrw. 5 hours to render this, but one more hour would have completed it. I think you need more ram. I dunno...when I started using Poser I was using 768mb SDram. Then P5, then upgraded system. I know Hair can hurt my render times.

Used a IBL AO on this.

WindowsXP(SP2)
3GB DDram (PC3200s, at 400mhz Dual Channel)
AMD Althon XP 3200+, 2.2Ghz
160MB HD (Pri), 80GB HD (Sec), (Both 7200RPM)
ATI Radeon 9600xt (128MB)

I have one time encountered those renders in the past (Using P6), that haven't moved. Wondering if something is running in the Background, a virus, spyware or other slowing things down. But this latest update for P6 is amazing (Well for me anyways). Sometimes a bad nod setup can do bad render times. For example I was using the gather nod, which I know now, I can never use at all does hurt rendering and possibly the system. I would check nod setups, specially on the eyes if that is where the render is holding.
