Err, did you add the mc_sky keyword like...

sphere { 0, 1000
   pigment {image_map {hdr "D:\Maps\HDR\kitchen_lat_long" map_type 1}}
   finish {ambient 1 diffuse 0}
   montecarlo { mc_sky { 100 }}
}

...to your HDRI sphere?

Just curious 'cause I've rendered similar scenes with MCPov within 2 
hours on 1 core with acceptable results. But there might be something 
special with this one...
