I am not talking about frames from a film but cycles from the cycles
render engine. A normal picture might take 5000 cycles and on my
computer that could mean 19 hours of render time. I often want to use
the internet or whatever during that time and would like to pause
blender to do so.

BTW running with 1 thread instead of my max 2 does not help much. Good
idea though.
