I'm not an expert in rendering by any stretch--my last rendering exposure
was 6.035--in the late 80s to boot, but I do recall reading in some linux
mag that Industrial Light and Magic (star wars, etc) moved their rendering
to a linux cluster. That probably doesn't help the typical low-end (non
supercomputer equipped) render-user.

Speaking of Star Wars, is anyone interested in getting a private showing
together?  Might be cool to have a bblisa showing.  I'm already invited to
one, but I suppose I'll see it a few times... ;-)  Adam?  Maybe we could
sell t-shirts. (with say "BBLISA Straw Wars" on them to avoid any
trademark issues ;-)
