Maya Fluid cacheing problem

Hello,
I am having problem rendering maya fluids. If i render 1 frame it takes around 10 minutes but while batch rendering it takes 3-4 hours to render one frame. I tried cacheing the fluid container but it gives me "must specify or select fluid node" error.

If anyone could help it would be great.

Thanks.

Building Destruction

This is a project I worked on for a client a few months ago. They just wanted to the facade the building to be destroyed. They picked the manner in which the building was going to break and fall, its not how I would of done it but oh well.

The final animation was to be used in a video projection onto the building itself.

This was my first big project trying to destroy a building but I think it turned out well. They also did not want any dust in the animation as they where taking care of it themselves.
