I can sympathize. I ran a render for almost 2 days before pulling the plug and accepting the results. Depending on what you are including in your scene, you may need to re-evaluate each prop and character for mesh density and texture resolution. Using a 4000 x 4000-pixel resolution on a mid- to far-scene object is a waste of computer resources. Great if you are rendering a closeup but needless if you are rendering a landscape. Reduce texture resolution, deconstruct high poly mesh objects, don't use SSS unless it's necessary, use bump or normal mapping instead of displacement, minimize the number of total pixels to achieve what you want, etc. There are many things that can be done pre-render but you will need to spend quite a bit of time tweaking and retexturing. Forget about using Queue Manager between machines for Superfly, it doesn't work and atm it is not supported except on the same computer as your Poser install.
