From what I know about instancing, if you are ever using material attribute overrides with instancing you are adding a huge amount of extra time to render because for each instance that has a seperate set of values it is creating another shader.

I could be wrong about the reasons why this adds so much time, but I have found that using material overrides on instances adds a gigantic amount of time to the render, especially (as you have noted) if displacement is involved.
