I've only been using apophysis for a couple of weeks now, but I've been living and breathing it (ask my girlfriend) ; I zoomed in all the way once, and it only took me about 7 or so hours to render , how high did you have the quality/depth set too? It doesn't effect the memory usage, but it does effect render time. Usually I render print quality fractals at 3200x4800 and it only takes around 6 hours. I used to set it at 1000, but I did a test on small images, and there doesn't seem to be a difference between 1000 and 250, but those tests were done at 990x660 res, I would assume the larger the image the more noticeable changes would be but I haven't test that yet. Also, deepbluerenegade is right, scaling does the same thing,though again I THINK it effects overall quality, but on an image this small I don't think you would notice, just up the q/d or image size to compensate and it will still render faster.

I had the quality set to 2000 and the depth at 32-bit integer. I haven't played around with anything higher than 1280x(whatever) yet but I still have all my original parameters if I want to make some prints.

Yeah, you should drop the quality down to 1000 at the highest, that'll halve the time it takes to render. Think of it like this: if you have the quality set to 1000 and are rendering an image that is 900x900, rendering the same size image at 2000 quality is like rendering a 1800x1800 image at 1000 quality and scaling it down. I asked the guy who made Apophysis 7x if using a higher integer effects the image, and he said no but that some people say it's faster (i couldn't tell a difference). Everything in my Gallery was rendered at 1000, you should check it out. < (please forgive the shameless plug)

3 Days???

How large of an image? It seems like you didn't get your money's worth.

Did you use post-process render?

no post-process...maybe just an over-taxed laptop processor was the culprit. The image here is full sized, 1280x942. I think I had zoomed in to near maximum for this particular one too.

hmmmm,

In the future, don't use zoom, use the scaling. I think you will find that it does the same thing but renders way faster.

I'm sad because the quality looks low, but the render time is already ridiculous.

Ok
Though I asked for your system configuration, this was helpful too Where can I find apo 3D-Hack?

well there's a new version now but just google Apophysis and you can get it, it's free. the computer that rendered this was running windows xp media center edition sp3, 1 GB memory, it's a dell inspiron 1505...I dunno whatever else you want to know I'll tell you I guess
