do you think that this might be the cause for slowing the rendering process? i'm on c4d r10 and fr2 sp2. first when i had a few lights everything was ok... now after arranging all the lights in the scene, and for efficiency i thought that making instances so i could modify from one spot all of them, disaster struck! rezolution is 1280x720, no aa, adaptive GI -5min and -3 max.... i have some handrails made out of glass but nothing fancy.... is it because the instances?

so if you now explode or make those light instances editable, does the render all of a sudden speed up?
