  How much feild rendering will add to your render time will vary with the
scene.
  Field rendering will double the initialization phase of each segment,
since it has to be done for each field instead of once for the whole frame.
The time for the actual rendering of the image is about the same.
  So, if your particular scene takes a long time to initialize, but renders
quickly, it could indeed take close to twice as long to field render.  In
general, most of my scenes take far longer to render than to initialize, so
field rendering has a minimal impact on total time.
