Pete,
I've been trying to imitate your Vue animation. I've figured out how to center the pivot point and get the blade spinning with keyframes. How did you get it to render in 4 minutes? What format did you output to? What did you use to convert to a .gif? BTW - I had a project go through and I was able to upgrade to Vue 7. So far, I love it. Way more stable on my 64-bit system. Only issue is that I installed the 64-bit, but only the 32-bit version supports SU import. Do you think I would loose render speed going down to the 32-bit version? Is Vue's SU importer good enough to justify a downgrade? Sorry for all the questions...

The reason i was able to do it quick is because I only animated four frames (all that was needed) and I lowered the render quality to final and reduced the output size.
I had a 64 bit installation last year but changed back to 32 bit due to too many issues of campatability, Since then many apps have begun supporting 64 bit, I plan to upgrade to a new I7 dual quad soon which will be a 64 bit rig. So in answering you I would say yes 32 bit rendering will be slightly slower, however I use 5 rigs on a render cow configuration which makes the difference un-noticable.
The .skp importer works okay (not great) I still prefer using .3ds export, but that's more because I am stuck in a tested workflow.
Please ask me anything, I will do my best to help.
