I found the cause of my speed issues with the clones/reactor room scene

I had taken regular antialiasing

Antialias=On
Antialias_Threshold=0.1
Sampling_Method=1
Antialias_Depth=5

and - in an effort to improve it, set it to...

Antialias=On
Antialias_Threshold=0.001
Sampling_Method=2
Antialias_Depth=5

This resulted in a *lot* of rays.

Sampling method 1 would yield 25 samples, whereas method 2 would be a 
maximum of 1089 samples.  And no amount of optimizing my media would 
take that any lower.

See here.
