Long for me is about 12 to 15 minutes. I have four lights on that one. My EZskin settings are the same as with transmapped hair, but are you saying somehow the fresnel reflect interacts with the dynamic hair to slow things down? Hummmm.

 

Thanks

EZskin uses a blurred fresnel reflection on skin which is going to lead to quite an intensive set of calculations with all those strands. With transmapped hair there's far less geometry with textures, but transparency to deal with instead. Losing fresnel reflection from the mix when using DH is a trade-off but does dramatically reduce render times, certainly in the tests i did a while back.
