Actually it's a crop of a 6000x5000 render (nearly life size on a 20" monitor). Render time was about 1.75 hours as I recall, but I don't know if that's really a measure of anything - just two 60k or so figures, subdivided once at render time for smoothing (maybe 240k polys in the render). The main hit on render time there was area shadows - rendering the same scene with depthmapped shadows takes maybe 5 minutes. The GI phase of the render took maybe 3 minutes. There is a floor in the scene, even though it is cropped out, which would speed things up if it wasn't there (not necessary for that framing).
