I understand that but a) I've been developing other software for years and 
am used to accepting bugs in Betas - I just consider this a learning curve 
and b) I have a core2duo - I just want SMP support - so I'm willing to put 
up with a small waste of my time to almost halve my render time :) but yes, 
you are correct- not the best idea in the world.

Either way, it's taught me a lot about the use of photons :D
