Do you use an Envirosphere to make renders faster ?
My normal settings can render a nude figure in 9 seconds without SSS and in 17 with SSS at normal screen size.
I only raise the settings to do close ups or really big renders.
I'm asking because most people crank the settings way too high without getting a real benefit from it, so a render that "could" have been done in 5 minutes suddenly takes an hour.
Or they max out their RAM by using higher texture resolutions than necessary. Like multiple 4096x4096 texture maps on a figure that will be only 1500 pixels tall in the finished render.
