From what I understand reading the threads here it should be much faster, and better quality.

Of course, I expect there will still be scene elements that will continue to slow things down (transparency?). But there is always the option to exclude certain objcts from raytracing at render time - while not ideal it offers a workaround.
Also, a lot depends on scene complexity and render dimensions.
