Not at all.  The cleanup phase after a render takes a looooong time
even without VMM.  I believe that Imagine cleans up its Octree starting
at the smallest volumes (the smallest chunks of ram it allocates).
I have often seen Imagine allocate hundreds of <4k chunks or ram, all
of which it has to free when finished.  Depending on how complicated
your seen is, it can take a few minutes to free up all that.
It still seems a little slow though.  Freeing ram shouldn't take that
long, unless they are also zeroing it out before freeing it?!?
