Xander,
    How do you do this time-scaling for individual objects? Is this
currently implemented thru the same "Rendering Options"|"Animation" tab? If
so, does this scaling affect only the currently selected object? How, then,
does one scale all the objects in the scene uniformly without selecting and
rescaling each one, one at a time?

Confused,

Good question.

The way it's supposed to work (not sure how much testing I've given it)
is that the rescaling is based on the selection in animation options for
"key steps" (pulldown in the lower left).  If you have selected
"selected" or "object", then just the current object will have it's keys
rescaled in time.  If you have selected  "scene", then all objects will
have their keys rescaled in time.

Now that I explain it, this is a really bad way to make the choice. 
I'll have to add something to the rescale time dialog itself to make it
clearer.

What would be really nice would be a way to select multiple objects at a
time and then perform operations on them.  Maybe in some future version
that has layers I could do rescaling (or other operations) on all
objects within a layer.
