I know that when rendering a scene in IRAY that if you remove a wall so that the bouncing lights have a way to get out speeds up the render, but will just hiding the wall do the same thing?

    You can also limit the maximum number of bounces. The default is infinite, but changing max path length (Render Settings>Editor>Optimization>Max Path Length) to a value between 7 and 10 will help speed rendres without compromising quality.

    Thanks for this suggestion, now all my scenes have at least one wall hidden or a door open and I set Optimization-Max Path Lengh to 7, which seems to work fine for me.
