The longest render I ever did would have been one of 5 days, but it took
too long to me, so I stopped it and started it over with far less
quality (still took about 10 hours!)
The rendering that used the most RAM, was one of a StarWars-scene.  It
needed about 57Mb Ram.  Lucky to me I had still about 1Gb free
disk-space for virtual-RAM.

I once heared it's sometimes better to make big and complicated objects
out of triangles.
Is this true? And will it only render faster, or will it also use less
memory?
