Those sound like pretty heavy trees,

Have you considered changing the standard maps to A&D?
The network thing was just an idea, I have mixed, som on network some local and work well.

Is the active degragation on of off? (I find it quicker to have it off for some reason)

I get my crashes whenthe scene is being translated at render time or at photon emission. Often its a straight crash out, no warnings. So now I save before I hitthe render button.
