Would be great to have a way to pause a rendering or pause an animation render (not just stop the render and then have to re-queue it up with the new frame range).

Maybe not necessarily to go in and perform work in KS, but if I'm rendering using all cores and then I have something come up and need to use other programs(excel, adobe CC, chrome), right now it's pretty tough. CPU use is maxed out and a good deal of RAM is used up, and that makes using any other programs quite a hassle. It'd be nice to temporarily pause the queue and free up resources and then resume where it left off again.

Another related 'nice to have' would be access to the render queue when its processing. If I have 10 things queued up, but only 1 checked to render. I have to wait until it's done to check the next one to process. But if the queue gets done while I'm not going to be near, i'd want to go in and check a second to take off when the first is complete.
