well, there's a lot of possible things that could cause slow your rendering. A few more details could help.

Are there any filters that you have applied - this will extend the render time (sometimes dramatically)

What file type are you rendering to - this can also affect it.

I can render .avi's with no filters out in about half the time it takes me to play.

problem is 1.4G processor

you're behind 3 years

3.5 G does a fast render

Quick tips:

1. Always render to a different hard disk than the disk that contains your source files. Makes a big difference.

2. Make sure you haven't "nudged" the opacity or volume level for any event, and that all your track levels are at 100% (unless you actually wanted to change them). I wrote "audit" scripts that will check this for you automatically: Audio Scripts

3. Don't use supersampling, motion blurring, resampling, or compositing, unless you need to.

Having said all this, if you are asking Vegas to create totally new pixels for every single frame, it can take a long time.

(to add on to the tips)

4) use DV source footage for rendering back ot DV. It renders faster then compressed stuff.

5) I've found if you want to go to mpeg-2, footage in Huffy renders faster then DV. At least in my cases.

6) Don't play Doom 3 while rendering. Any apps that are CPU hogs will kill your render. :)
