Sorry for cutting most of the message but this was the only thing I
think perhaps I disagree on. Most of the time rendering may take more
time than parsing but not in all cases. At the moment I'm rendering a
series of images where the parse time exceeds the render time. This, of
course is not very smart 8) In extreme cases it's better to do the heavy
calculations in an external program which will need only a fraction of
the time. Unfortunately this doesn't always work. I have noticed that
with the increasing power of my system I've concocted increasingly
complicated scenes which, even on a faster system, on average take
longer to render but even more so to parse (the more memory, the more
objects, the more parsing).
Just my two eurocents...
