I don't think that going from 10 000 to 200 000, or 500 000 or even 1 000 000, 
objects will make a big difference on the render time, but it will have a big 
effect on the parsing time. Available ram and swaping can become a big factor in 
the render time.
Now, add some area_light, then, add scathering media, not fog.
