James, PyMOL can use multiple CPU cores to create ray-traced images. PyMOL does not ray trace on the GPU. If you enable use_shaders then you're getting graphics that are as good as ray tracing but without shadows or antialiasing. So, if that's okay for you, then calculate your viewport size, disable ray_trace_mode, and re-render your movie.
