Jim, that's the time from hitting Ctrl-R to the end - I explicitly followed your instructions in the readme ;) Marks: Render 1- 9:11:00 to 9:13:44 - 164 seconds Render 2- 9:21:00 to 9:23:52 - 172 seconds Render 3- 9:25:00 to 9:27:50 - 170 seconds Average, rounding up: 169 seconds doing it one more time to be absolutely sure: Render started 10:52:00 (hit ctrl-R). At 10:52:52, it finished shadow map calculations and so forth and actually starting the rendering. At 10:54:52 render completed and the progress box disappeared. That's 172 seconds.
