Set to reuse shadow maps and keep textures loaded.
Renders to 400x400 window:
1 core, 4 threads, Poser process: 35.5 seconds
2 cores, 4 threads, Poser process: 27.5 seconds
3 cores, 4 threads, Poser process: 24.5 seconds
4 cores, 4 threads, Poser process: 22.5 seconds
4 cores, 4 threads, FFRender: 35 seconds
Renders to 800x800 window:
1 core, 4 threads, Poser process: 77.5 seconds
2 cores, 4 threads, Poser process: 50 seconds
3 cores, 4 threads, Poser process: 41.5 seconds
4 cores, 4 threads, Poser process: 40 seconds
4 cores, 4 threads, FFRender: 44 seconds
