Time Takes Too Long

Whaaa! Mac Pro is here. I decided to go with the "Copy crap from another Mac" option it gives you when you first boot up a new install/machine. It's been saying anywhere from 1.5 to 14 hours. It's only gone up to the high side a few times when I hear long periods of disk grinding coming from the source Mac. Probably some big ass files that are fragged into hundreds of pieces. Ah, now it's down to 1:08. Woohoo! Can't wait to do a full build of Creator and see how much difference there is. I'll also try some Poser renders. It's a hog when it comes to rendering, requiring lots and lots of RAM, so the 8G I have now should help. It will be interesting to see if it can handle all those cores or if it will max out at 4 rendering threads.
