Lucas,

If you'd like, please send me your session file and I can take a look
at ray tracing it or making it possible for you to ray trace it.  I
did a small study a few years ago and found that if you can
hide/remove atoms for PyMOL that won't make a difference in the scene,
that could help you out.  If you don't want to mess with it, feel free
to send me the session file and I'll take a look.

Last, try "help faster" in PyMOL for some more hints.
