An easy way to do very fast tests with vapor (and flame) is to put a solid white material on the particles and render a 320×200 flic. On a P5/66, you can preview a LOT of animation pretty quickly (albeit without transparency and lighting, but for motion it works great). In terms of emitter speed, you might be able to slow the apparent speed down by increasing the # of particles, but vapor doesn't have an explicit "speed" control. – G
