When I see that it would take ... a long time, I just take it down to a lower setting. :-) Although there's a picture I'm working on now that would take 11-12 hours to render at 3000x2000 pixles at Premium with soft shadows, 32 RPP and 2 Total Ray depth. And that's just the scene, without figures. There's another that takes 5 hours at the ordinary AA. OTOH, I noticed that Fine usually takes more time than Premium, even with the effects.
