It's not that hard for me to imagine using.  Imagine lots of video at
2k resolution (err, is that 2k across, or 2k vertically?), each major
element of a scene being a seperate layer, etc.  Plus all the scratch
work being saved to keep you from having to completely rerender for
every change.  It adds up real quick.

What is hard for me to imagine is the multi gig .rib files Pixar
supposedly uses.

What's that?
