36RPP is probably the close to the same speed as regular with soft shadows. Regular slows down a lto under soft shadows. I woudl second agent smith keep only one or two bright lights casting shadows therest of the fill lights just turn off the shadows. If you are using bump turn it down below 5. This speeds things up. Make for some ranged lights so they will only light one area and it saves calculations too. Great set there. I think an additional texture on the floor to break it up a bit would improve the image.
