If you have computers at work, Bryce 5 will let you network render stuff, so you can have several things crunching at the same time. I assume you've already eliminated screen savers, background apps, internet stuff, etc while you're rendering, checked system resources and maxed out the free resources. Are you using soft shadows on everything or some monstrously unnecessary antialiasing level? Maybe bumping up your swap files settings would help some, if your system is making frequent saves then over time the disk access speed will become limiting to your process...can't think of much else. Anyone else care to offer opinions? I do love the Triton speedster...can I get mine in red?
