No that is not ok. Could you please explain in detail, what you have done and what is happening, to let us reproduce the problem? Thanks.
Nice to finally use the roughness settings correctly from the MTL file
PMC seems to work ok for fire flies, although I thought it would clean up images faster than pathtracing in images with no fire flies - meaning less samples with PMC. Or did I miss something?
No, that assumption is incorrect. As I described before, path tracing is very good in scenes with lots of direct light and diffuse materials, i.e. scenes that have a very homogenous noise and no "fireflies". It's hard, if not impossible to beat that. Maybe we can speed up path tracing itself, but the path tracing algorithm works here very well.
Of course, as soon as you introduce glossy materials and lots of indirect light, path tracing becomes less good and often impractical. This is where the new kernel shines and improves things dramatically.
Again, try it out in different scenarios. As a rule of thumb: If it clears up fast in path tracing, stick to path tracing. If your scene doesn't clear up well in path tracing, try PMC.
