While Poser5's rendering presents a serious improvement over P4, there appears to be a serious tradeoff.

On the same box, I find that the maxiumum size of PZ3 I can handle is half that of Poser4 (50 vs 100 MB). I find that I have to type in numerical values to move stuff rather than spin the dials.

The ability to manipulate objects in the Pose window in P5's Fast Tracking mode is slower than P4's Full Tracking mode ... Full tracking in P5 is not usable at all.

While P5 hair is righteous, the rendering time for a 35MB scene with one P5 hair is about thirty minutes vs three minutes for the same scene without the P5 hair ... ten times longer.

In these cases, I am using Raytracing .... any thoughts on this? How are y'all doing in this regard?
