(I render at night with a batch file, so I don't care how long that takes, but opening and saving files was really a problem).

Not to mention the crashes I had, which were much more often than with smaller scenes.

I think I'll try to avoid big scenes like this in the future, and only use 2 or 3 poeple at a time. I have one planned scene with 4 people, I hope it won't be as bad as 5...
Hey DD -- good stuff so far. What app are you using to create the dialogue balloons? Also, I do not know you Photoshop (or other image editor) skills, but if you have a number of people in a scene (and they are not entwined), you could set-up 2 files: one with foreground people and one with background people. Make sure the camera is set to the same angle, direction, and the like. Then, composite the 2 renders. This may help.
