Although I like the ease of use and render quality of Simlab Composer (I tried the demo a month or so back), I was not that favorably impressed with its render speed compared to the old HyperShot demo I tried last year, or even to more full-fledged renderers like in modo or Lightwave. Would anyone care to comment on their experience with Simlab Composer as far as render times go?

I'm still toying with the idea of buying a copy before the current offer ends at the end of the month, but right now the render time issue has me leaning more towards putting that money to some other use (like a down payment on an Adobe CS5 upgrade ;-) ...
