OK, it took me 1 minute 10 seconds on my new Pentium 4, 2.6 gigahertz, 512 megs DDR memory, Windows XP + service pack 1, Poser Pro + service pack 3, 32-bit color, 800x600.

I applied all the tweaks for system performance gleaned off the Internet, and it made not one second of difference. Now I wonder if those speed tweaks are going to bite me in the future. :-D
