How do I render this environment faster

Edge of Twilight is a great environment: https://www.daz3d.com/edge-of-twilight but it takes long to render. I turned off all its emissive lights and and do Iray section planes so that everything unseen and also the water is not rendered. But it still takes long. Is there something that I'm missing out? I don't want to use denoisier, I have to put it to 25000 max samples with no denoisier so that the final render has no noise, but it takes 45 mins to an hour and I'd like to shorten the time.

    If you haev removed emissives how is the scene being lit? If there are a lot of nooks thata re not receiving direct light that will slow convergence (which is how Iray decides that an area is done).

    By environment light and spotlights. The Iray planes limit the area being rendered, I guess that reduces the number of poorly-lit nooks?
