Rendering takes 5-6hrs to several days? What in the world are you rendering? The last time a render of mine took that long was when I still had a single core, years ago and 2Gb of RAM. I've looked at your gallery and there's nothing there that should take hours to render on the machine you have. I don't have half the machine you do and the last time a render of mine took over 3 hours to render was when I rendered a scene with IDL on at 5000x3000 pixels for a poster with lot's of stuff in it.
Perhaps you can lower some of the rendering settings to gain some speed, but still have a satisfactory outcome? Also get rid of items running in the background you don't need, it does free the cpu and memory.
Quote - Also PP2012 uses up to 25% of physical memory for its cache.
I noticed that as well. Reason I returned it. My machine is at it's max memory, I cannot afford to lose that much memory and I'm sure not prepared to buy a new machine just because of Poser. While PP2012 has advantages, it comes at a price, one too high for me.

Due to the childish TOS changes, I'm not allowed to link to my other products outside of Rendo anymore :(
Food for thought.....
