You can do it in gimp, toshop and with the great "violet tone mapper" avaible in the download section, but tou'll need a .igi file.

You can see this tut

But if you want "the indigo render", wait for 60 hours or buy a quad core

There was a thread here somewhere on a GREYCstoration-utility working nicely with GIMP_

Alternatively avoid white and saturated colors. The light bounces "forever" on white materials, thus the noise.

oh and before you ask next for the black frames around the eyes:
suzanne isn't a solid object - the eyes are separated from the head. you need to close the mesh in order to solve this
(every material, especially transparent or translucent ones, need to be closed volumes for Indigo to get the best correctness )

After rendering 60 hours, then you can go for another 120, and so life goes on.....

which type of tonemapping are you using?

linear -> increase brightness
reinhard -> increase post scale
camera -> increase expoure? (or ISO and shutter speed?)

the values, you give here (2500 spp) sound quite ok Some scenes will even need far longer
