Active shade renders extremely slow

[philvanderloo]

Is the speed of the Active shade renders controlled by pretty much the same render settings as normal renders? Probably could have worded that better but, I'm doing some tutorials on how/why to use the active shade renderer to manipulate materials and other things in pretty much real time??

Not the case here. My renders are taking over 8 minutes and they are still very noisy. Is there something I'm missing on this whole concept?

Rendering an interior scene imported from Revit. Most of the lighting source is from vray plane lights and vray sun.
