Render Preflight - System Resources Check-up

[frip51]

It'd be nice to have a button that checks on whether a scene will overload the computer system and lead to a program crash.
I imagine it to be a window popping up, displaying a list with things like

- maximum polygon count possible on the machine
- maximum RAM memory
- maximum swap file memory

- no. of polygons used in scene
- amount of memory used for RAM
- amount of memory used for swap file

- estimated render time
- crash warning

etc...

The idea behind this is to be able to easily rate possible steps of optimisation to be undertaken in order to guarantee a successful rendering.

What do you think?
