Caustics, volumetrics and all of that are why some people, like seachnasaigh built a render farm. And he renders using the render queue. Rendering in background is another viable option if your machine has the RAM to do it because it allows you to work on a scene while rendering.

All these suggestons do is speed up your render times. If Caustics, volumetrics, etc. are important to you, then have at it.
