Hi,

I'm trying to render a not so complicated scene: it's only a box with some parts
cut out. In the box a couple (9) of lights.
Now rendering this on a quadcore system in 1280x1024 (-A 0.1) takes days!
This is the result of the script with 1 lightsource (takes 10 hours to render):

The script with 9 lights can be found here:

Has anyone any suggestions how i can speed up the rendering? I'm very much
surprised that 1 or 9 lights makes such a difference. But with one light it
still takes almost half a day to render.
