This is the single biggest and most frustrating problem with the 3D industry today.

Essentially the only thing that will really speed up a rendering is a faster CPU. I personally wouldn't even consider a RenderDrive or similiar unit for the simple fact that you are locked down into a proprietary unit - not good.

What is even worse, is that the technology is actually there to speed up rendering dramatically - yet no one can get their stuff together and make it happen.

At this stage in the game, good luck and just settle for a faster CPU or a simple renderfarm. Neither of which are optimal solutions.
