Rendering a big scene can take hours or days to complete. So it would be interesting to have some kind of "Pause" Button.

Saving all Relevant variables to Disk should be no Problem.
And continuing the rendering through loading all of that into memory and restarting the Render-Process could be possible.
So it would be like the Advanced Standby-Mode of Windows Vista and 7, where everything is saved to disk and you can turn your pc off (completely no power usage) and work on later.
This could also become quiet interesting for Online Renderfarms, where some users may stop a rendering if it takes longer than 1 hour. The status would be saved, transfered to another one and the render continues!

Saving a whole application to disk is a OS task, not the applications task. I think there are apps for this on every OS.

Only a simple "Pause" button to interrupt and continue the rendering. Helpful when you temporarily have to do some other cpu charging things on your system. Should be easy to implement.
