We're working on that one :-)

That said, you should probably ask yourself how fast you really need 
your render results, and whether you'll be running all your renders 
strictly sequential.

For instance, if you're working on some detail and want to see it from 
three perspectives, you can just as well run those three renders in 
parallel, rather than sequentially.
