Probably 9hrs, too... I didn´t optimize for speed but clean glossirendering and have pretty high settings for each material´s AO node, mostly 32-48 samples, add the glossiness to that and you see time running away.
I´d think that having the option to use the same AO node across multiple materials (like in Maya, connecting via the hypershade) may be worth a try to see if that brings down rendertime. I´ve around 10 materials, that´s 10 AO nodes each with a very large falloff distance set... The glare output shader could also be nuked, I think. Posteffect, quicker.
