This is a good thread. I have been wondering about render times myself.

8 hours to 3 Days! Yikes. I am guessing the 3 days is for a very high resolution scene?

I want to use Vue6 for animations, but I am really hesitant now. I am looking for a max 1 hour per frame render. Even that is too long for me. ;)

Thanks for the info. I am using the demo and I thought it was slow because it isn't 6.5.
