Quote -      Once P8 or P9 approaches that 32bit memory allocation, it will slow to a crawl - and start putting much mileage on the hard drive by page filing.

     By comparison, on a 64bit system, I intentionally burdened Poser Pro 2012 with a massive scene, complex materials, and lots of special effects (reflection, refraction, anisotropic sparkles, SSS, IDL, displacement, GC) and rendered it at 5120x1600 pixels, with 95% irradiance cache and 95% IDL quality with ten ray trace bounces.  I got Poser to draw a bit over 48GB (max occurred near end of the IDL precalc);  Firefly continued to run at full speed.  ^^

I am suitably envious.
