A blast from the past..almost a year old and Pre-sub surface scattering. It seemed strange to put all the detail intoi the background knowing I was going to blur it out later

yah, but those details still come through. A spot, even blurred without the correct details would look wrong to us.

Both Daz Studio and Poser can render using DOF. It's not so much that the camera "defocuses" the background, but more that it focuses on a particular subject this making the less sharp. I can't say I've ever seen it chew up processing power in Daz but in some cases it's simpler and easier to replicate the effect in photoshop when you layer the various elements of your piece to create the final image.

With C4D it used to double the render time and was totally incompatible with dynamic hair . I've learnt some odds and ends over the year and what I've been doing of late is to render the scene, blur the render and then use this as a background for the next render [link] ... Same difference really?

Ouch. Sounds like you've come up with the best way of being about to achieve the same result with less pain and suffering, and that's always a good thing.
