DoF = renders a bit differently in raytrace comps than they do in classic 3d = and of course DoF is an expensive operation in 3D.

also it sounds like you dont have an NVidia card with CUDA. with a = decent card what you are trying should render relatively fast.

without one it would be painful and i = wouldnt recommend trying :)
