Question

Is it worth mentioning Tile Size as related to your redering options, ie CPU or GPU? there was an article on another site (which i can't find, typically) that had a full range of tests and GPUs were faster w/ larger tiles whereas CPUs appeared to prefer smaller tiles. using these sizes reversed would increase your render times. cheers KW

I think that is a good point, together with the Auto Tile Size Add-In (included in Blender) that when enabled will adjust the tiles to optimum sizes when switching between CPU and GPU rendering. I find that really useful.
