I don't do archviz, so no classroom renders for me either. Typically, I try to keep frames from going over 10 minutes, usually go for shorter, but sometimes you just have to spend up to an hour on a frame, in those scenarios Arnold would probably be more efficient. But then again, we rarely do full-frame CG, mostly integrating objects into plates.
