I'm getting consistent render freezes(Firefly). Sometimes it'll freeze while loading textures (scenes that render fine in P6) and sometimes will get part way through a render and just hang (not on a complex part of the scene or where there might be complex materials).
Thought it might be to do with the texture filtering on 2d image nodes (how annoying is that default setting! - why not have an override in the render dialogue?) but still got the same problems. The scene in question only has one figure and two lights, and it does render fine in P6. 
I tried an HDRI map and it wouldn't load that either.
I also get serious pauses at all sorts of odd times - anything from changing a camera view to adjusting a material setting.
I'm starting to think it might be a hardware issue in my case, although the default scene with Simon and lights renders ok.
