My render times for a desktop sized render (1200x750 or so) it takes about 2 hours for me. I don't use a lot of lights or premium settings but I do use a lot of volume materials. Animations for me I tend to be very carful with what I use as far as lights settings to keep the render times down It takes me about an hour a second on average at 640x480 at 30fps. I avoid volume materials reflective surfaces and premium settings when I do them.
