How MR cooks together final image

[Tauno Ööbik <tauno(at)joonisfilm.ee>]

Where from can I learn more about the topic how MR internaly builds 
together final image. IE in what order does it calculate sub-passes, and 
in the end how does it put together all the layers together for final 
image. I am looking that info to get better understanding about the 
internals of MR and in the end to use that info to put together more 
efficient passes for compositing.

I already took a look to the well known book called "Rendering with 
Mental Ray" but unfortunately this topic is covered insufficiently 
there. Or I missed the right spot :)

Unfortunately, right now I learned more about that topic from here then 
from that book:

I just wanna shorten my work days which are growing way tooo long as the 
bar needs to be risen again and again constantly.


Thanks a bunch,
