Actually, Bryce aint really that bad if we compare with the above, Maxwell.
Sure, you have full GI and physically based lighting in Maxwell, but interior scenes are ridiculously slow and the noise never really clears up.
It´s pretty much necessary to use image enhancement software to get acceptable results in an acceptable amount of time. And we´re talking screen resolution images here. The program still have a very hard time rendering out anything larger than A3, no matter how much RAM you put into the machine.

Take these two scenes for example, which took around 60 hours each to render, in this resolution. And they´re still not entirely noise free.
