First, the render was in the ballpark of 1 hr at maximum priority. 
Second, I agree that it makes items less visible, but I think it carries
more substance to it, like there is an actually cloud of dust which is
obscuring your objects.  With atmosphere it isn't quite like that...
Also, I have yet to fully experiment, but I know which parameters to
play with.
