I'm sure a with a lot of hours tweaking, testing and some smart trickery you can get faster render speeds in a lot of renderers, but the whole point with these unbiased renderers is that you hardly have to send any time tweaking to get a realistic looking render. I think I spent about 30 minutes on the classroom scene adding and adjusting materials and tweaking the lighting and camera before hitting the render button. The only render optimization I did was switch from direct lighting to path tracing. - Ronald
