k, this is not a ranting or whining thread. : ) lol

First, my specs:

Vue 7 Infinite
Windows XP (Home)
Service Pack 2
Single processor (1.7 GHz)
[aren't those of you with mutliple processors happy??] LOL
2 Gigs of RAM [don't brag about having 8 gigs! I wantssss, my preciousss!!]

Issue: A simple scene renders in Vue 6 in about 1 minute on Final, but takes about 30 minutes in Vue 7 using Final. (Used Render to screen, 640 x 480).

The scene contains:

Now, I thought I saw a thread 'round here about tweaking certain Vue 7 settings to decrease render time, but I don't recall the name! (I hope I didn't imagine it). hahahaha

I simply need to know where to begin looking so that I can get the render times (hopefully) very close to what I had in Vue 6. After all, 1 minute vs. 30 minutes is a huge difference. :P

Btw, I did not find any difference in times when using the default texture for the ground.
The problem is obviously lurking in my render settings, or some elusive setting for the materials!

Much appreciated in advance!
