Does it normally take a long time for a firefly render?

with all the bells and whistles, yes, but, not near as long as Bryce or Terragen.

Long is relative...depends on what you're doing. Most of my Bryce renders are around 10 minutes. Firefly ones are longer because I don't know what I'm doing yet.

Attached Link: FireFly FAQ
From the brand-new FireFly FAQ: *1. FireFly is so slow, how can I make it faster? In order to get faster FireFly renders, you can do the following: *decrease the number of Pixel samples * increase the value for Bucket Size * increase the Minimum shading rate * check Remove backfacing polygons * uncheck Use texture filtering * uncheck Raytracing on* There's also an explanation of what all the options do.
