The behavior I'm seeing is the image render will quickly reach 100% and I can even open the snapshot file and check the render. In this case, it's a pyro explosion. The render will complete in maybe 20 minutes. Then the log will be at 100% for 2+ hours before actually completing and writing out the deep file. Is this expected?

In case it matters, I'm using xpu, only writing out the beauty aov to deep, compression of 5 and z bias of .002, and full color.

I'm sending tests with snapshot disabled, monochrome and less compression.

As a follow up, removing any render vars from the "dcmvars" helps reduce this render time. Not remove it completely, but greatly reduces.

With beauty dcmvars:
first time stamp at 100%: 100.0%
saved deep out: Saved deep image
Total: 00:07:03

Without any dcmvars (essentially deep shadow map):
first time stamp at 100%: 100.0%
saved deep out: Saved deep image
Total: 00:03:31

That's a significant savings. Would like to see time shortened even further, because at the moment, some passes sit at 100% for 2-4 hours.
