I'm always having issues when there is a combination of outside light with inside light. See the this video for an example.

The scene renders nicely in just a few minutes when the camera is outside as well as when it's deep inside, but while the camera is coming through the doors and there is a combination of outside and inside light, the render times can be well over an hour. The adaptive dome light does seem to make this a little better than having portals in the doors, but it's still pretty excruciating.
Is there any way to speed this up?
Just a little info: I have to render animations like this from this model and others once or twice a year, since museums around the world have artifacts from these places and want to show their audience the context they came from. And I frequently make small updates to the models as experts weigh in, so it's almost always necessary to render these things from scratch, so each new one reflects the latest thinking.
