I'm not even using firefly since I would be dead before it finished rendering. It's an animation to a music track that is 3 minutes long. That may not seem like much time, but it is to me. It's just for fun... well it was...grrrrrr.

So... You are using Poser's preview I assume?

I worked on a large project a few years ago that required a few hundred 5-15 second clips. Managed to tweak the parameters (pixel samples, shading rate etc.) to the point that I was able to get the look I wanted with each frame taking just under a minute to render (Firefly). Still, it would be very nice to see some improvements to the preview mode given what games these days are doing at 60fps.
