hey guy,

following problem: i have a rather simple scene. a single frame renders in about 5 secs. but in batch-render mode a single frame renders in about 5 - 10 minutes.
i don't think this is a memory problem since i have 512 MB RAM and 2 GB of virtual memory.

i'd really appreciate any adivce some of you could possibly provide me with,

thx in advance,

goldberg

It's very difficult to troubleshoot something like that without more detailed information. What does your scene comprise of as far as mesh density, shader networks, are you using mental ray to render or are you using Maya software? Are you raytracing anything, using large texture files, dynamic simulations, particles? A bit more information on what you are doing would be helpful.
