Yeah sorry I'm mixing up my metric with imperial. The image was 23.6 inches x 16.4 inches @ 300 pixels per inch. usually I do them around 8 inches wide @ 240 ppi and it takes a couple of hours.

Thanks for the info but use of the term 'bill board' may be misleading. The image I produced will be used for anything from a web image to a print to go on an office wall to the 'sign' which will be erected on site and could be viewed from a couple of meters. So I was after as high a resolution as possible. If you start with a high res render you can downsize a lot more effectively than you can upsize. I am familiar with photoshop and nik software as I am an amateur landscape photographer. I knew I could resize the rendered image by double and still get results good enough for a 1.2m wide print that could be viewed at quite close range. And the client specifically wanted a 'realistic' look not a 'cartoonish' one.
Your comments on why lightworks is so slow ring true to my experience. Its especially frustrating to see my CPU meter running so low on most cores while it renders. Still I actually like the results I can get with Lightworks and as my core business is design and construction documentation not imaging (and my clients usually need no more than a VBE tour) I have not had the time or incentive to change. I will certianly look at Artlantis again sometime.
