Yes sir, we can boogie:

^ That's a low-res, low sample image with a bit of noise but it does demonstate the thinlens sensor quite well

Actually there is — check out the spindly black shape in the reflection in the gold ball sticking up in the middle of the checkerboard base: that's the camera on a tripod
How long does those things have to render? On what hardware?

How long does those things have to render?
That depends on the number of samples taken per pixel (sampleCount) — a quick preview image (640x400, 16 samples) can be generated in a few seconds whereas the full HD images with 512+ samples[1] take a few hours but Mitsuba seems to be significantly quicker than Blender/Cycles.
The memory usage can be prohibitive though: the XYZ RGB dragon at the top of this page can only be rendered at a small scale (using the dipole subsurface scattering BSDF) with the 4GiB I have available.
On what hardware?
ThinkPad X201
I'll have to try and get a headless NUC renderbox or something before I burn the poor laptop out.
[1] it's best to set the sampleCount to a power of two, it makes the arithmetic tidier

Options are many, with blender/cycles you can pack the thing and send it to the remote server that has 3x gtx 1060 or send it to some render farm like sheepit (there is a person with 100 xeons connected), however in practice most of my static images are rendered on cpu (10 years old macpro xeon) and I can usually survive times lesser than 30 minutes before the project gets boring (that would depend on individual). Also most of my imaging is noncommercial.
Cli rendering notes

The new 2.8 series will have a real time eevee, if you have a hardware for that, which may be good enough for final render in some cases.

A large package, but there are a lot of nice images in all sorts of resolutions...

What happened to Clippy? (alpha)
https://cdn.scrot.moe/images/2018/06/04/clippy6.md.png
Good ol' Clippy aged quite well since I first met him when using Office 97 and still enjoying life (don't forget he's still around in MS Office 2016 as an Easter Egg).
:^)

Some new wallpapers - mostly taken from various distros and given the Bunsen treatment:

Yeah, I wanted it to look arcade like. Maybe the text should be antialiased.

Eh, it's an artistic choice. Looks very '80s, for sure!

played with draw_bg.lua script for the conky clock (circles,color and transparency):

I lack the information: it is syntax1.10; another "island solution" that no normal user can recreate with dislocations.
Tell me I'm wrong...

Very nice - Plasma 5.13 is superb, and surprisingly light.
