Glad to hear that Nanette.

I don't use the GPU acceleration much and I find LuxRender perfectly adequate. Of course speed of rendering is a fiunction of the speed of the machine. With a modern machine, a quad-processor or faster rendering speed is quite good.

It also deepends on the lighting and the scene setup. Lux takes a little to be learned. In three years that I have been following artists using Lux I saw that often people get much faster after they gain a little more experience.

In fact there are asrtists who make graphic novels with Reality and Lux. 

Thank you for your feedback, it's very much appreciated.
