Very long render - a portrait and a crash why?

I was trying to do a comparison render of G9 and G8.1. At first I rendered G9. It took less than 5 minutes to render. Then I added a G8.1 character and rendered both together. Same lighting, same setup, etc. This render took 1 hour and 27 minutes. It is something with G8.1 I would assume.
Going to shed the hair on G8.1 and see how that works. In the meantime I turned off G8.1 and rendered g9 in the same location: Time:3:43 . then i started a render with G9 and g8.1 without hair. It started and after 43 seconds it locked up. Then DS crashed and was gone. Someting totally messed up for sure.

It probably ran out of memory on the GPU, after which an application restart would be needed to free it up.
Fully agree with Richard.....
