New report: After half an hour of waiting for Bryce to import the object, I got fed up and cancelled the operation about halfway through "Bryce is converting the object". I encountered no complaints from Bryce, though, but checking the file, I saw that it was about 120 megs. So, I suspect your problem might have more to do with your computer than with Bryce. Or Cinema has a better handle on the system requests. Or something.
