On the Anmation Render time it could be much worse. According to Pixar they render 24 frames a second (Movie Industry Standard) . The average frame takes 6 hours to render with some being as long as 90 hours, YIIIKKKSSS!!! Also, Dreamworks rendered "Shrek 3" in 20,000,000 render hours and "Bee Movie" in 23,000,000 render hours. On a single core comp that would be 2281 and 2623 years for a movie.  **8^O
**15 seconds a frame isn't to bad now is it??? *;^D
Sorry bout the Cat-astrophe
