  If you make sure that the number of light sources (an area light creates
several light sources) is the same and you use adaptive supersampling,
the rendering should be a lot faster with area lights.
  I guess that you probably created a lot more lights with the area lights
than with your point lights.

  Where can I buy that type of machine? I would really like a computer that
never needs to swap.
