Really hard to say. In the past I rendered laser stuff with dispersion in 20 minutes (Classic API).
Could be either 5 minutes or 50 hours.

Looking good, a lot of details to discover.
Rendertime - if you say it's hard to render, maybe 5 hours?

Exactly, and when a scene become complex, a full scene viewport rendering will be really slow. You know about local view? http://blender-manual-i18n.readthedocs.io/ja/latest/getting_started/basics/navigating/global_or_local_view.html It is supported by BlendLuxCore. So you can anytime hit numpad + ...

Thanks for the report, I fixed it: https://github.com/LuxCoreRender/BlendLuxCore/issues/60

Benedikt Bitterli really creates high-quality papers. He also implements some of the stuff you see in there in his Tungsten renderer, so you can actually look at the code which I really like. I think it would be great to have this portal implementation in LuxCore, it could speed up indoor archviz. A...

And what was the render time?

Sure, PyQt looks good and I already know Qt from C++ programming, but if the licensing situation is unclear as Dade said we might not be able to use it. PyQt is licensed under GPL. LuxCore API is using Apache license. Maybe we just need to license the network manager GUI under GPL - is it a problem ...

Thanks for the summary. Then I'll look into wxPython.

Yes it looks a bit experimental to me, maybe not the best idea to use it.
To be honest I'm also not against writing the GUI using C++ ImGUI, I've already used it for a small tool a while ago.

Dade, have you tested pyimgui?
