Ok I am stumped.  I need advise. First off let me give a warning.  **I am still learning about Poser.  I use what I know about as best as I can and leave what I don't know alone.**

I have set up this scene and if I render with the included settings it takes about 35 mins.  (including the hair - which I left out here). As soon as I add IDL it takes 14+ hours just to do the precalculating. (I went to bed after 14 hours and it was about 2/3rds done) When I got back it had rendered about 2 rows and stopped as if the render was done.

Now first of all.  Are my settings wrong?  I am not sure if it should be taking so long and if there is a way to make it faster. 

I would appreciate any help/suggestions re this but please be patient as I lost when it comes to half the stuff you guys talk about. ;)

My system info is:
Intel Cuad CPU Q660 @2.4GHz
4GB RAM
Windows 7 64bit

Thank you in advance.
