Speaking of procedural textures: the more of the skin I cover with opaque clothing, the less subsurface scattering needs to be computed. So, unless the procedural textures on the clothes were horrendously complicated, I wouldn't even be too surprised if it rendered faster. :grin:

That said, if it's a concern, one could always bake the textures and compare render times between the procedurals and the baked image maps.
