Yep D|S was running all 6 cores at around 98%.. Its the damn hair that apparently kills it.. Sigh  I had thought that meybe it was my settings or something because Poser just flies through renders, however it appears that it is simply just a matter of heavy lights coupled with transmapped hair...but at least now that I know that I can plan accordingly and render while I am asleep..LOL
