I jumped straight into Blender 3.5 when I finished work and started to rebuild my configuration and reinstall all my add-ons. It took nearly three hours, partly down to having to watch a long of installation tutorials because I wasn't sure about all the required steps.
Everything seems to be working but I made the same mistake I nearly aways make on the first encounter with a new Blender version -- I forgot to set my rendering to GPU.
It was a silly error but it's easy to make when you never change or think about the setting. So what difference does it make?
Here's a quick seen I scattered together in a few minutes. I decided to use True Sky which can generate really nice skies but can be a bit expensive in terms of render requirements.

When I realised that I was rendering using my CPU I immediately re-rendered again using my GPU, the Nvidia 4090, which you might expect is a bit faster.

Oh yes. Quite a lot faster. That's 35-times faster, which is even faster than I thought it would be.
