Here's a look at the render settings. For a small render (640x480) it takes about 13 minutes to render a single figure with hair, no background. Turning down the lighting quality to "Fast" and the accuracy to 16 pixels gives me a faster render speed, about 8 minutes. That's tolerable, at least, but worrisome for larger or more intricate renders.

Mostly, I was hoping there was someplace I could turn off certain render settings for certain objects. I'm sure I've seen this in other software, but I may be mistaken. Doesn't look like Carrara has any such option.
