Mirror Rooms - GPU Load/Render times?

So I'm looking at this product:

https://www.daz3d.com/mirror-rooms

This looks like it'd be a pretty heavy load on Iray rendering, but then I don't really know.

Does anyone here have experience with this product?  If so, how much heavier (ballpark) is the GPU load and how much does it increase render times?

If you wish to share your experience with similar products, that may also be helpful in my evaluation of this product.

Thanks in advance!

    Try an experiment. Make a large cube, maybe 3-4 m in size. Put something inside, light it up, a camera inside the cube. Texture the cube with a highly reflective material (mirror, or silver, or other shiny white metal) and drop the glossy roughness to zero. Point the camera towards a wall, and see what happens in the preview. You should see reflections in all directions, up to the Max Path Length.

    I don't have that specific product but I do have another with walls covered with mirrors. It added substantially to what I expected the render times to be.

    You can trim that down by reducing Max Path Length to something like 2 or 3. You'll get lots of reflections but not the whole infinity effect.
