Jeff, it all depends on what you're doing to the video that may slow down the render time.
For example, if you add color correction filters, that will easily cause your video render time to increase. Adding blurs will significantly increase render time, and if you've got lots of stills, titles, or other non-DV sources, this will slow it down as well.
Any video that has not been processed will render very fast. Anything that needs to be recompressed to fit the DV format will take longer. Speed of machine and workflow are the best two tools to speeding renders.
More specifics about your file/project/computer would help pinpoint how you might find a more efficient workflow.

Thanks for the info. I did have to add color corrections and a few different video clips and soun files. I guess that is what made it slow down as with the others did not add that much stuff.

Thanks again.

Also, if you import vid, graphics, animations, or even audio that isn't DV or .wav format, it takes longer because Vegas has to resample it all.
That's what video editing can cost....time
One thing that can help with workflow is if you do color correction at the event level and not at track or project level, and use TGA, PNG, or JPEG as your photo formats. That'll help speed rendering significantly. Also avoid using really high resolution photos, not only will they take longer to render, but you run a chance of compromising the quality of the still due to the greatly lowered resolution.

Rendering depends also on the processor power. So, if you want to decrease render times, you must have a good processor such as the new AMD's Atlhon 64 family or Intell's P4 3.4
