The P5 defaults are crap, enough to drive anyone to distraction. I mean why would you want in the draft P4 mode to leave anti-aliasing off and cast shadows on, when calculating shadows will take a lot longer than to anti-alias? Yeah right... Stewer has written an excellent FAQ/tutorial for Firefly rendering options, check it out at the link - very helpful. Also a thought on bump maps - check your bump value and see which node any bump maps are plugged into. Only .bum files (the old P4 bumps) should go into gradient bump node. .jpg bump maps should go into the main bump node (or into displacement, can be interesting.) But you only want a bump strength of around 0.01 or even 0.005 on close ups, otherwise your model will look like something reptilian!
