The Basic version of Daz Studio 3 is free. Daz Studio 4 is currently free, too.

Yep. There are ways to reduce render times, like using fewer light sources and relying on reflected light instead, or decreasing image resolution, or even using a computer network to speed up the render. But Lux itself is pretty slow

24 h, even it would be 10 x quicker would be to long for me, lol
When I work, I render a scene many many times, until I am happy with it...
DAZ|Studio 4, 64 bit on mac needs, even for complex scenes, only a few minutes...

Yeah, that's true. But even 3Delight can slow down considerably if you're using IBL with soft shadows, ambient occlusion and global illumination ^_^ I had a 2000px*2000px scene which took 2 hours to render with all the effects on my current hardware.

However, one of the many things I like about Lux is that you do not have to wait for many hours if all you want is to get a glimpse at how your scene will look. If I want to take a look at my lighting setup I can do a very quick test render (10 mins) with reduced resolution. There's also a "Preview" option that accelerates the render at the cost of some realism.
