Wayne: I think there MUST be something wrong with your system as it is currently setup. As I have said before, I just finished a 'rather' intense animation, where I had to farm out the prject to severale other Toaster Systems. Without fail, these are the results I got: 68040 – 33 MHZ = 118 min/frame 68040 – 28 MHZ = 100 min/frame 68030 – 40 MHZ = 104 min/frame The ONLY guy that had problems was a guy that had 4MB of 16 bit RAM. As soon as he changed a jumper on his board (this was a PPS board), his performance matched ours. Before the change, he was rendering at about 145 min/frame. I have had a chance to render some of my scenes using LightWave3. The speed improvements are on a factor of 3-5 for normal rendering VS. LW2.0 on an 040. Keep On Toastin' Erik Flom
