I understand that. But they have to be tweaked, and tested, and that
means more rendering. And that means that I have to spend the next few
hours with the marquee trying to get an idea of how the setings will
work before letting it run overnight (and part of the morning) in order
to find out whether it worked as well as testing indicated.. and if not,
I repeat the process again the next day.

To be honest, the slow render times don't bother me when I'm trying to
produce final output. It's the slow testing that kills me.
