It really all depends on the machine and the scene that you're rendering, these pics WITHOUT the IDL & IBL lighting take about 1 min to render.
however what you see in this thread have the IDL IBL lighting, and they took between 5-15 mins to render per pic (it seems now the most time consuming part is the precalc of the lights.
I benchmarked these pics on my old render machine, and lets just say I gave up on the first pic after FIVE HOURS waiting on the the precalc lol.
also....
Old render boxes = 2.4 dual core, 2-4 gigs (depending on the rig) on board
New Box = AMD Phenom II quad core 3.00 GHz, 16gigs and a sapphire radeon graphics card
so the diff is really night and day!
