Turtle, I do the same types of renders that you do. I make my pretty little fae's, add some postwork from PSP and Jungle (thanks for that tip by the way)...etc. I got P5 so that I would be able to use my existing library (spent LOTS of $$ there) and tweak some things here and there and just have a better version of what I had before. I have found that in P5 everything is a pain in the ass. Its slow, locks up and it takes me 3 times longer to do one simple thing in there than it does in P4. I think that because we do things so similar I am feeling exactly the way you are. =(
