Rendering time suddenly changes?

Has anybody ever had say on a monday, they render their file and it takes a certain amount of time to do a full render.

You go back to file a week later and for some reason it takes an impossibly long time!!


I am having this. I even deleted all the lights to be sure but no. It's taking an insane amount of time here last week it did it in to time at all.

Thanks.

    It is rendering, not stuck on optimising images?

    Its doin that whole optimising thing and the image window is not popping up and only does so when I try to cancel. It then won't actually cancel and i have to quit the app.

    I am thinking its' a combo of large file, with high end lights and the texture I have chosen?

    It is usually just a random thing -you may need to clear out the temp folder manually and restart DS (or reload the scene). However it's also possible that one of the textures is in some way "bad" as far as TDLMake is concerned - check that they are all 8-bit per channel RGB images, for one thing - in which case a restart won't help.
