  This can't be true.
  You are probably creating a non-adaptive area light with 100 points and
comparing it with 10 individual point lights.
  Create the area_light with the same amount of points as your trick and
use adaptiveness (eg. adaptive 0, adaptive 1 or whatever is the smallest
number which gives a good result). The area_light should render a lot faster.
