I'm preparing to do a high quality render of an animation I've setup. 
Because of the large size of the animation (15,800 frames, 720x480) I'm 
looking for any way to improve rendering speed.  The animation is 
divided into 22 "scenes", each one of which is regulated using if 
statements.  I was wondering if the material between the #if and #end 
portions of a scene are still parsed if the #if statement is false.  Or, 
in other words, if it would be faster to delete or comment out portions 
of the animation not being used in the current round of rendering.
