Rick, Actually, I think it's gonna have to be long enough… (See related exchange w/ Greg P.) FWIW, a 50-sec. rendering will give us 2% accuracy, which is probably plenty good enough, and my Alpha estimates are probably close enough that a dual 300MHz box is still going to take longer than that at 1280, metal, mapping on, Pixel Size 1.5, no save, no display. I've got a sub-dir in my File Cabinet labelled Benchmark, and your most recent times are in it. Reality being what it is, and this not paying any bills as someone remarked a few weeks ago, I suppose we'd best be satisfied with what we can get. Now if we can just get the level of response we did the first time around… SCL
