What is endSequence and sequence time?

[2010/Sep/15|13:35:40] V-Ray: Total frame time 0h 0m 2.7s (2.7 s)
[2010/Sep/15|13:35:40] V-Ray debug: Calling endSequence().
[2010/Sep/15|13:36:12] V-Ray: Total sequence time 0h 0m 34.4s (34.4 s)

My render tests seem to always pause for quite a while at 99% complete.This is from the output window. Its a very simple test render that takes only a few seconds, but maya then sits there for about 30 secs before I can do anything again. What is it doing?

I think its a bug with the way VRay deals with non-linear deformers? If I remove all the bend and sine deformers from my scene, then long pause at the end of the render goes away.

What does the endSequence() proc actually do?

This is when V-Ray cleans up all the memory taken up for the rendering. Is it possible to get me a sample scene where you get this delay to vlado@chaosgroup.com so that we can optimize this?

Best regards,

Thanks Vlado, will send a scene on Monday.
