Torrefaction

I'm doing some stuff in Poser 6 (Poser 7 is no faster, so I stick with 6), using some new DAZ figures, and YE GODS the memory hogging has become INSANE. I have a human figure with an outfit, boots, and hair; all of the stuff has textures loaded. There are no props, and I only have 3 lights. And I can't move the camera interactively because of the atrocious lag.

I haven't done much with Poser in the past couple of years, and when I have I've used older figures.  These new gen4 figures must have a trillion polys each; they are SO SLOW.  I have 2 gb of memory and if I want to have any fun with the app--like, rig some of my own models--I will need to double my memory first, I think.
