Howdy,

Maybe I'm making this more complicated than it needs to be, so I just wanted 
to fling this out there too see how far off I really am on this issue.

I'm thinking just on render at 6400 x 4800 and then just cropping two 
separate 800 x 800 detail views.

I did a quick preview of my scene (no media, no antialiasing) and it appears 
that bigger image takes more time. Is that true or it it just me??
