Long times with the 11 release.. where am I wrong?

I did a test with the Sky volume effect off (it is on in your scene) and my render time went down to 4 minutes 46 seconds, down from 11 minutes

Tried the academy start up file and imported the same sofa from Cosmos, added a corona sky and sun and tried my best to match these to your render. I added my own concrete wall material and rendered to 1600 x 900 to 5% noise and it finished in 3 minutes 50 seconds.

My PC is a Ryzen 9 5900X with 64 GB on Windows 10, CInema 4D 2024.1.0 and Corona 11 RC3

Is your VFB always like this?

yes, mine is the VFB that way too

I deactivated the Sky Volume affects and the render scene at 3.15min (in my 7950x, 4.46 min with which workstation 3990x or 5900x?).. OMG almost half, but it's still too much in my opinion

4 minutes 46 seconds was on the Ryzen 9. I have just run it on the Threadripper 3990X and it took 2 minutes 4 seconds.

Threadripper 3990X 2nd run was 2 minutes 9 seconds
