My experience without IL is that reflections are faster than they used to be.
With IL, they are slower. Remember, the cost of each reflected or refracted ray has gone up, because now it requires that the second intersection be re-evaluated for lighting. Those in turn launch still more rays (a whole fan of them) to evaluate the IL.
Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
