I have Poser set to using 5 cores, since from my understanding my CPU has 6 of them, and I like to leave one unattended so that I'm able to continue using my computers for other things ...

The Xeon E3-1230 has 4 cores and with hyper-threading it can use 8 threads. One thread = one bucket, and the more buckets that are rendering simultaneously the quicker the render will be done, so might be worth checking on how many threads you have set in the preferences?

I just tested today again - rendering goes smoothly with 5 threads, but with 6 or more I get severe slowdowns and freezes on my computer. At 5 I can smoothly work in photoshop and zbrush while Poser is rendering.
