I'm blender user and i'm enjoy of this new (for me) rendering feature.
So :
Maybe I do something wrong but I'm not able to decrease rendertime for this scene under 60 h. I find it really amazing. And even after that I'm not satisfied with result. (famous indigo noise).
My question : is how could I improve settings to render it again in relatively nice timing. (at least under 20h )
Here are some details of my scene :
23303 p

I know that is not a really competitive computer but I'm using a Acer laptop celeron intel 1,5 GHz, 448 mo winxp sp2.
( Indeed I usually work on a apple G5 but I can't wait for an osx indigo port. )
And xml small part :

I'm working with the preconised v o.5
I know that indigo is in constant developpement and I'm conscient to work on a small PC configuration, but my scene is not so huge (i think).
Maybe you see evident tricks to optimize this, I'll be glad to ear it.
I hope I given enough details.
cheers
