Out of curiosity, what kind (make/model) of router are you using and what bit?  When I try to chew through that much material in one pass the dogs howl at the high pitched whine and I can smell the smoke.

i will find out exactly what model the router is tomorrow when i go to visit him. as far as smelling smoke check the bearing they burn up rather fast. they are cheap to replace and take about 30 sec. to change. i went through one when i cut out my gt cabinet. it smelled like smoke and didn't seem to cut very well, as soon as i changed the bearing it worked great again.

Thanks.  I appreciate it.

I still think the circular saw/Jigsaw method is best.
I clamped the 2 sheets of MDF together and cut both sides at once. It took about 20 minutes to cut both sides. If I did use the router method I would not attempt to cut all 3/4"or 5/8"in one pass! If you do borrow a friends router and bits ;)

mattv:
Your router / flush cut bit idea is a good one - but the Router and the Flush cut bit may not last very long.

Also it will be really, really messy!
Tilzs:
A flush trim bit is what you want. As for it not lasting very long it'll last long enough. Even if you go though a couple of them you saved a lot of time measureing/cutting.
