@François: Unfortunately due to some fixed overhead on our side and things like scene translation, Redshift will not render at 30 frames per second even with all features turned down/off. That being said, depending on resolution and settings, you could get renders on the order of 1-5 seconds or possibly less for very simple things (like shaderballs). Also, progressive rendering can give you (noisy) results that approximate the final render very quickly (see below).
@Eugen: Redshift has progressive rendering mode which provides noisy results almost instantly and refines over time. Final renders don't use this mode, but it's very useful while setting up your scene and tweaking shading/lighting.
