Thank you all for your comments! I really do enjoy them. To Shredder777: You know, I don't really know if it's the fact that I used a different computer (that rendered so much faster than my previous) when I started with 8.5, or if it's 8.5 itself. My older brother suprised me by almost completely giving me his computer (I use it for whatever, but it is techniclly still his), and had an even bigger suprise. I was, up until that point, using 7 PLE, and he got 8.5 for me. Special thanks to him! So I am pretty sure that 64 bit did have something to do with Maya going faster, but I also am now using a much faster computer.

One last little note: I have found some reference images on a different website for the x-wing. It is not based on the toy I am modeling, but I can use it for scaling. If anybody wants them, just let me know. I will probably post an update tomorrow evening. So until then...
