(as basically mentioned already) That looks like a lot of radial lights, yes? When using multiple lights, I try to turn off as many shadows on the lights as possible, all of them if I can, and then use the sun to cast the shadow. This will speed up rendering quite a bit! Each scene is different, of course, but if you can do that it will cut way down on the number of shadow calculations the program has to do. AS
