I can say this, as someone who works entirely in CG, the cost WILL go up. Way up. Every frame costs, both in time and processing power, plus storage. Even at Pixar you'll hear about complex frames that took days to render. And now you want 3-4 times that? It's going to cost more or else you'll see a plethora of new software and comapanies using "frame rate post tripling" or such, just as you see post 3D film processing. And we all know how well that's working out.
