Hi,
in complex scenes, with long parsning time, lots of photons and radiosity, 
there might be very usefull to save/load _all_ data.

I.e. we have rendering times : 10 min parsing 30 min photons 5 h radiosity 
pre-trace and 5 h final rendering. In such case - when user have to turn 
off computer aftert some time, or when computer crashes - staring all over 
again might be very long.

Will it be possible to add option that saves all data, or loads them - end 
jumps immediatly to final rendering stage ?

Look at the +C option in "5.2.2.1.4  Resuming Options"

  AFAIK +C has no effect on parse time.
