just left my Mac during the night to generate images:
new benchmark record:
PyMOL>
cmd.draw(800,800);cmd.png('/img/cne_998.png',width=800,height=800,dpi=50,ray=1)
Ray: render time: 18259.74 sec. = 0.2 frames/hour (18259.74 sec. accum.).

Here are some benchmarks
1)This is an example for rendering of the image based on a multi-model
pdb of 240 frames (all states splitted into the same model)
Ray: render time: 698.52 sec. = 5.2 frames/hour (698.52 sec. accum.).
2) This is the same for 20 model pdb
Ray: render time: 19.26 sec. = 186
thank you, Blaine!
actually this problem only exists for the saving image of the system
consisted of many models loaded into save pymol session after its
splitting
I've already tried with dpi=50 (keeping the same resolution) but It
did not produce any differences :-)
Cheers,
J.

Hi Jeff,
10 minutes is a long time for a 800 by 800 pixel image.
Maybe you need to use a computer with more memory.
You can set the dpi in the argument to the png command to a lower value like
300 or 200 to speed up writing the png file.
You can also turn off the casting of shadows: cmd.do("set
