My entry won't render for at least 3 months. It's currently rendering at 15
hours a line and slowing down.
How do people feel about taking the top half which renders in about 3 hours
and the bottom half which takes about 6 hours and joing them in Corel
Draw - is this bending the rules?
What do you think?

I'd say that's acceptable, because you're not actually altering the
appearance of the image in any way.

how does 15 hours a line add up to 3 and 6 hours? some kind of parsing
and ram problem?

Can't you do this "in" a raytracer: make an orthogonal trace of two boxes, each
with image maps on them. Don't use Corel, if 25 non-voters say yes in this
forum, you could have 75 voters in the real contest be offended and give you
0-0-0.

To my knowledge this is perfectly legal. In fact I think there was a recent
entry that did that.
From the IRTC FAQ
[1.1.15] How about rendering my image in two / three / twenty-six parts and
then combining them? Is that post-processing?
It is post-processing, but it doesn't affect the actual pixels of the images,
so it is perfectly legal.
Have at it. Can't wait to see it.

I don't see a problem with it. I am curious though how it's taking 15 hours
a line,
but in two pieces it only takes 9 hours.

It is probably Windows' sh*tty memory management. When stuff overflows into
swap it gets all fragmented and Windows takes forever to allocate and recall
it, and after prolonged virtual memory use the system can even become
violently unstable.

I not sure about that - there's no disc activity at all , it parses in a few
seconds {there's only about 5000 objects) and there's no disk activty from
then on.

I used about 7 computers for one of my irtc images. I stated this clearly
in the txt file and even described in detail what I did.
It didn't affect at all. It's ok.
And why it should, anyways? That's what distributed rendering is all about.
