Yeah, for production it was like 240 hours with 3.6 for half of the
scene, and 2-3 days for 3.7 for the whole scene (but in a much lower
resolution)..

Without grass it comes down to 3.6: 6s vs 3.7: 5s. Those times are the
ones povray itself told me, so that might cause the difference (IIRC 3.7
 counts used time somehow differently to 3.6?)
