Speeding up 3DL?

Oso3D

Things for speeding up 3DL:

AoA Lights are faster (and have nice features).

UberEnvironment2 bounce lights are incredibly slow. I've found AoA Ambient might not be quite as realistic, but SO much faster

Ubervolume is slow... post work might be better.

I love AoA subsurface shaders, but it's SOOO slow. I've been replacing it with Ubersurface2.

 

Now... hardware?

I have 16 GB of DDR4 RAM (I have an Alienware Area51), and I suspect this is a touch low. Is it likely to be throttling 3DL renders?

 

Any other advice?
