I noticed stalled renders some times too, but it mostly occured if the
render was already slow so you do not really notice it's stalled ;-) 
Anyway it never was persistent, slight changes always helped.

It looks good, but the sizes seem somewhat wrong, as you mentioned the
table lamp is too small, at the same time, the main light is very large of
