DS 4.6 and Deep Shadow Maps

Is it just me, or does it seem to take more than twice as long to generate a DSM in DS 4.6? I'm at 2 mins 35 secs and the DSM is still only 38% generated. Also, my mem is at 1.84 Gigs with only a single figure, hair, and a bodysuit in the scene. What's the deal?

All I know is that 3Delight is better suited to render raytraced shadows instead of DSM.
