Does a render farm dramatically decrease the rendering time in Maxwell?
If so, can anyone tell me how a render farm works or maybe point me to a web site that explains? I've heard about them but don't have a clue how they're set up.

Josephus, dramatically is an understatement.

Maxwell's network rendering isn't too efficient at time present, but it still works with renderfarms and obviously reduces rendertime bigtime...Try googling 'setting up a renderfarm' to get some info beyond the fact that essentially its a bunch of slave boxes networked...You can find some good online renderfarms for pretty cheap prices, I think daros's is the first which offers maxwell rendering...Anyway if you want to set up your own renderfarm, step number 1 - find a hell of a lot of cash...
