As ridiculous as this sounds, I found that my antivirus and antispyware programs I was using was causing an issue with poser. So for now on, I have to shut all that shit down before rendering. Who would have known? I didnt realize this, by my antivirus was being a major resource hog.

i finally got my 2 minute render time back. Woooooohoooooooo

Ever stop to think, and forget to start again?
