Sure; I can honestly say it's never happened to me, and that's w/some of my
scenes that include skinned objects dumping 300,000 to 500,000 polys to the
renderer, or in scene where I exceded 300,000 faces in addition to having
skinned objects (as an example, the grass by itself on my first complete dragon
picture was 320,000 odd polys, not counting the dragon, and it took under ten
minutes at 600*800). As a guess based on what others have posted here, maybe
somewhere in the autoexec.bat/config.sys lies the POWER.EXE that others have
said slowed them down. Perhaps he could try it w/the 'Jonas minimum recomended
boot' (you know, the 'files/buffer/path/mouse' autoexec.bat and config.sys) and
seeing if that speeds things up and work from there. If he's swapping, that's
another story (my P90 has 64 megs).
