I'm experimenting with something, and barely even started with some animation and it's taking forever. Doing motion blur is rather expensive, isn't it?

Rendering is now on frame 5/168, and over 4 hours already...  Is it really worth continuing? (The animation isn't anything epic either. Just a jet zooming by through some clouds.)

If anything, maybe some recommendations for blur settings. I'd suspect Carrara allows a range that can get into ridiculous territory. (Or at least for doing animation and not a still - as I could see where a simulated long exposure blurring effect could be neat with a still.)
