Rendertimes for certain things are vastly improved though,.............I've been using madmax's Zenith Studio Quality light rig,(which in B5 had very prohibitive rendertimes), and it rendered them with comparitive lighting speed,...........B5 was 3 hours and 22mins, for a very simple scene, B6 is 18 minutes ! And it has a better look to it also. And, IMO, the skylab clouds are vastly improved !  I will try to post some images in the next day or so. I'm having a fair amount of crashes though,.................very annoying to have to save every minute or so. The bug reporting app is crashing also ! As far as the rendertimes,..........I'm enjoying the multi-threading abilities, both processors and all 4 cores are pegged at 100%,.......WOOHOO !!!!!!!
