What hair style was it? A "strand-based" style or a "transmapped" style? "Strand-based" will take quite a bit longer to render.
Rendering always takes time. How much, that depends on the complexity of the scene and the speed of your computer. If it's transmapped hair and a modern machine, you can make yourself a cup of coffee while it renders.
If it's strand-based and an older G4 or G5, you can travel to Columbia and pick your own beans while it renders...

A lot depends on render settings. The "maximum quality" setting of Poser 6 will result in insufferably slow renders and often in renders that can't complete due to excessive memory requrements.

If you want to get a quick impression, choose the Poser 4 renderer. You'll lose a lot of advanced effects, but the render will be fast, even on a slow machine. Use Firefly when you're ready for the final high-quality render.

The pen is mightier than the sword. But if you literally want to have some impact, use a typewriter
