Quote - raytrace bounce can be reduced to 1 if you dont use reflect/refract.
If you are not using reflect/refract then the bounce means nothing and can be set to any value with no difference in speed. If there are zero bounces attempted, the limit is never reached, therefore setting this limit has no importance at all.
If you are using reflect, but there is only one place to bounce, then it also does not matter what the bounce limit is - you can never reach it if there is no second or third place to bounce off of.
etc.
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)
