    Also, when I was using emitting media, the whole scene was taking just 6
minutes to render, but now that I've changed it to scattering, it just
overheated my CPU at 90 deg c, (the alarm went off), on line 39 of
480........ wait for it....... 1 hour 27 minutes later!  :o(

  I'll try your suggestion Slime. Thanks.
