I changed my sphere light to a cylinder mesh - and render times rocketed 5-10 fold !

Any idea on how to avoid it?

Do you have GI enabled?

Yes
They are part of a scene which has lights materials and stuff.

Hm, not sure then without the scene; mesh lights could be expected to be somewhat slower, but not by that much. If you can get this to us at vray@chaosgroup.com it would be helpful to find the problem.
