Why are my Path Tracing renders blurry while my Path Tracing screenshots are clear?

I’ve done some more testing and setting the spatial and temporal samples to 64 gives good, clear results. I also checked Reference Motion Blur in the Path Tracer settings, which I think improved the clarity. This all works great at 1080p resolution, which takes about 5 minutes to render my shot, but when I boost the resolution up to 4k, the same render needed 3 hours to complete!! Not sure if this is a bug or if this massively exponential increase in time makes sense…
