Ren_mem... I think size matters...as well as shadows and the complexity of your alpha maps. The image I posted is actually a shruken crop of the overall image... it's a full body shot... and I was able to turn interpolation too 100% and only add 15 min to the render time... when I turned it off after 4 hrs i still couldn't see the light at the end of the tunnel.
