I posted the link to this repo on /r/rust and folks suggested that I run in release mode (I was running in debug mode the whole time). This significantly improved the runtime.

There's also a progressbar while rendering/saving now, thanks to coder543's Pull Request.

A 480x320 image at 1000 samples took around 23 minutes to render.

PS: Hence proved. Rust has an awesome community.
