Here is the update with job numbers and other notes:

Behavior of GUI platforms will change in next beta.

> Save during render
> (is very slow)
> http://news.povray.org/Pine.LNX.4.33.0111271256060.2190-100000@burpc3.en
> gin.umich.edu

Not a bug.  User configuration error (slow system and network).

Later in the thread a feature request for background saving.  Note that
background saving is not possible to implement as it would have to guard
against saving of files that are being rendered as well as delay rendering
when files needed for the render are still being written to disk.  However,
it is not possible to determine all files which will be used by a scene
prior to running it (i.e. files generated by the script and opened by the
user or files whose name is determined via string functions).  Thus
background saving would have to disable the "Start Rendering" functions and
making it not transparent to the user but only _very_ confusing why
rendering isn't possible.

I admit it is a naive question, but didn't the behavior of filter and
transmit change in 3.5 and might this be the cause? (I didn't render the
scene to see what it looks like.)
