Those will also take long enough to render

Are you rendering again with raytraced shadows?

Wait, wait, wait!!!  The default in the renderer (for most renderers on the planet) is Do Ray Traced Shadows.  This is good in the renderer.  It isn't good for the clouds as in - Cloud (type of cloud) - Quality - Enable Ray Traced Shadows.  This last option (there are two) is not used very often and only when you want the shadows to influence the clouds and not the terrain.

yeah but i am not sure it was necessary for this render to let the tab check...
anyway... far from being over so ... i need to wait...

What I'm saying here, though, just to be very clear, is that having the Ray Traced Shadows on in the renderer is a standard in 3D rendering.  If that is causing the problems, then that is good for Matt (et al) to know, but we certainly don't want turning Ray Traced Shadows off to be a workaround.  N'est pas?

[Seth]

I'll try with and without raytraced shadow when i'll do my crop renders...

I meant ray-traced shadows in the atmosphere
Ray-traced shadows under the "extra" tab in the render node has indeed to be switched on, but I meant raytraced shadows in the atmosphere. Calico is rigth indeed.
I remember Seth rendering a cave image with raytraced shadows in the atmo and surface detail and it took...well...how many 100s of hours? I don't know

But for the sake of clarity: I meant ray traced shadows in the atmo

I just saw on the other board you had surface detail checked, you might also consider disabling that, it's probably not visible and only increases rendertimes very much.
Of course I don't know if these relate to your problem, but you might try. It's for Matt and the others to tell

@TU - 

That's what I thought.  But, I wanted to be sure we were all understanding.  I'm curious how this comes out, after the clipped renders.

aaaaaaaaaaaah no raytraced shadow in the atmo tab dude
as for the GI detail, it seems that where it is very dark under the trees it adds some details (maybe just my eyes though)
