Just to pass on this note, I was reading a thread on the Discreet board and there was a situation where a Max user had slow render times when using grouped objects in MAX5. I am working on a file right now where I have a lot of 2d trees in a scene and they are grouped. After reading this info I decided to open my file and just see what would happen with ungrouped objects. Here are the results.
Grouped = 1:41
Ungrouped = :14 seconds
Looks like I won't be using grouped objects when rendering anymore. I was unaware of this problem until now. If you are not aware of this you might want to give it a try and see if you can gain any render speed. It seems to be more noticable on larger scenes but if it can help...
