Poser 13 requires less pixel samples to get the same quality of image.  If you use the exact same settings it won't be faster.  The thing is you need less to get the same image.  There is a point of diminishing returns where no matter what you do the image won't get any better.  At which point you are then just wasting time.

Does it actually need fewer samples even without using the denoiser to get the same quality?

If so, shouldn't adaptive sampling handle that difference automatically without me needing to reduce the number of samples? The point of adaptive sampling is to stop when it's reached the good enough stage.

If my assumptions are wrong here, I want to know so I can save time....
