Sb: render speeds.

I have 3dsr4 and have noticed that rendering speeds are inconsistant in a way. This is the Pool.3ds file and I made the pool Cueball (object 16) a chrome with an automatic reflection on a wood table top. In the 3d editor I get a rendering time of 3.5 minutes and it goes thru one pass of "creating reflection maps" until it begins rendering. In the keyframer I have about 13 minute frames with the same settings: no dithering and autoreflect on. Even on a targa frame in the keyframer it goes thru 10 or so "creating ref maps". Is there a way to produce this flic without the outrageous rendering times? I have gone through 3ds3 for a while and have never had this problem. Please help! Any help is appreciated!
