Camera Controls vs. Render Speed?

EightiesIsEnough

I'd like to ask, do certain things regarding camera controls contribute to slower renders, in addition to certain images?

The only one I can think of for sure is depth of field, because your video card has to do extra work for it(assuming you're talking about Iray). DOF should take longer in 3delight also, though. Frame width and focal length could probably affect render time because they widen the lens view so the scene contains more stuff for the GPU to render. I don't know enough about the rest of the controls.
