Oh, yea - I missed the source the first time around.  Thank you!  After
comparing yours to mine I came to the conclusion that we weren't doing
anything differently enough to account for such a big render time
difference, that is until I looked at the lighting.  Area lights kill!  Of
course, I was using area lighting to the extreme, and when I changed them to
point lights my scene rendered 15 TIMES FASTER!  Oh well, live and learn.
I'll probably still use area lights for my final renders, but it's nice to
know that I don't have to wait 5 hours for an intermediate render.  Thanks
for your help!
