will there be a sort of final render settings post?  because i think i've gotten lost on recommendations,  other than high bucket size is good.  oh, and unzipped, you know you can change the shading rate for each object/group, right?  so you can leave the render setting (minimum value) low, boost it up high for things where it doesn't matter and make it low for stuff where it does (like hair, eyelashes, etc.).    i mean, i'm betting you know since both you guys seem to be much more knowledgeable than i, but i thought i'd check.
