spend a few weeks tweaking the rendering settings to find the best detail/speed ratio.
It also provides a break when you are getting tired of modelling/animating
Seems like an ineffecient use of time... I don't wait more than 7 and 1/2 sec/ frame (with full 16-bit anti-aliasing at 800x600). I find this to be reasonable and wasting two weeks to tweak this seems to be a bit lacking in common sense.

I hasn't even approached a slow time with my last animation project:

added frame 265 (frame 264 in avi): Time: 00:01.46
added frame 266 (frame 265 in avi): Time: 00:01.52
added frame 267 (frame 266 in avi): Time: 00:01.44
added frame 268 (frame 267 in avi): Time: 00:01.46
added frame 269 (frame 268 in avi): Time: 00:01.43
added frame 270 (frame 269 in avi): Time: 00:01.44
added frame 271 (frame 270 in avi): Time: 00:01.47

I love renderer's that don't suck... This is one of the reasons I dislike 3DS max so much.

Oh, and I'm also browsing the web while rendering that... my instant-messaging program is up and communicating accross 5-7 different IM services... so I'm hardly stripping the computer down to render fast. (In case anyone is wondering on the numbers for a benchmark type thing, I'm running a 2.53ghz P4, most rendering machines are dual or tri...)
