Unusually slow Rendering times....
Dual 3.4GHz Xeon Processors, 800MHz FSB
3GB DDR2 PC3200 RAM
nVidia Quadro FX4500 PCI-E 512MB Video Card
(2)500GB HDDs, in RAID 1
Windows XP Pro w/SP2
If these times seem about right, then please excuse my post. But, if anyone has some helpful insight on how I can speed things up, please let me know. Both CPUs are working, staying between 90-100% most of the time, so what else could it be? Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Mental Ray/Maya Software/finalRender/Renderman
Each render engine will take less or more time to render the same scene due to the way it deals with each rendering effect (Caustics, Photons etc...).
Are you using Global Illumination or Final Gather as these will increase render times also.
