This one is my second attempt at bringing down those render times. This one uses 3 lights as well, but only 2 are casting shadows, and the hair is NOT casting any shadows at all. I upped the shadow map size, and reduced the bias, as Operaguy has instructed. It works for getting the rendertime down. This render only took about 2 minutes total on my machine, at the size of 720x480. The only thing is now I lost even more realism, and the hair looks less convincing that the previous render.
