I have been rendering/animating in p9 for a while, but recently had to switch to an older computer (hopefully just temporarily). I'm not a technical person, but I'm wondering if anyone has tips for making the rendering faster, specifically with regard to the "render" tab under general preferences (e.g., "Number of threads" "Max cache" "Persistent Size")? Even processing an animation in preview mode, my computer only churns out about a frame every three seconds, which seems very slow. I ran a Firefly render over night of about 500 frames and it took most of the next day as well.

Thanks in advance!
