Does using copied poses slow down render time?
I have noticed something weird and I can't understand why. Basically I have a number of poses I have from other creators and when I locate their poses from their files and use it on my character, the render seems fine and is quite fast. However to speed up my workflow I copied all my favourite poses in a new folder so its MyName > Favourite Poses. And the way I would copy the poses is simply locating that pose, right click copy and then paste it in my Favourite Poses folder.
Now If I apply the pose from my Favourite Poses Folder, I noticed that the render took 21minutes compared to 4 minutes if I apply the poses from original folders. Its the same pose and everything is the same except the only difference is that in one scenario I am applying the copied pose from my favourite poses folder and the other way is I am applying the pose from the original folder.
The reason why I created these folders to contain all my favourite poses etc is to speed up the workflow, so I don't have to hunt down each different pose by different creators and their folder structures.

Pose preset location should not affect rendering time in any way, it must be something else that is causing this.
