I guess it’s all subjective. I have been doing this so long that I can remember renderings taking several days, so 10 hours isn’t bad. Smaller resolution check renderings are done, so I rarely have issues with larger, overnight renderings. I usually render really large, even though I rarely print these days. Most of my stuff is viewed on screen, or printed on 8.5 x 11.

I can’t believe some people are happy with 10-12 hour render times. That would kill us. Anything over half an hour (DR of course) and I break a sweat. Our deadlines rarely allow us the luxury of rendering overnight and hoping it looks good in the morning.

Ditto here. Using Lightscape cost me clients back in the days of Lightscape render times. It made for nice images but the time cost was prohibitive.
