Actually so far I can tell (now that I've found it and have been experimenting a bit) it's faster than regular firefly. But it need the pixel samples cranked al the way to the top or it comes out grainy.

Still, at low pixel samples it's really fast, and it can give a good approximation of what the final render will be. It's a fast(er) way of checking reflections ect. In fact it's apparently like the little Preview Firefly window. So until proven otherwise I'll regard it as a preview render :)
