Not sure If I am missing something
But  I have an Nvidia 1070 GTX   and 64 Gb PC Memory

When I load an example project, and do preview rendering,  it takes forever...  it's been 10 minutes  and only 470 out of 1000 done
So I changed it to 200,  but still taking forever.

When i watched Kai's video it takes seconds... so  what am I missing here for the preview render?

Looking at the screen it uses the GPU and CPU for it.

Make sure that you are optimizing the VRAM usage of your card. That's what gives you the speed. If you go over your VRAM to system RAM, it will be really slow.

I checked the video, and setup like that as well.
It still takes forever..  every little move and it takes minutes before i can do something
Iclone keeps freezing up for a while, and then it does something.
Set the count to 150, and it still takes about 4-5 minutes.
idk why it takes so long.

Something is wrong, I think

Uninstall and reinstall iRay with a fresh download from your account.
Update your graphics driver. Make sure to do a custom install so you can totally replace the old driver.

1) I agrre with Rampa - something is definitely wrong.  It should not be THAT slow
2) Which "sample project" are you opening?
3) Are you on a laptop?

4) Are you sure it's running on your GPU and not your CPU?  Seems more likely to be an issue on a laptop because of the way they get configured for low-power operations.

4.1) Download the free "GPU-Z" and run that to monitor your graphics card while doing the test.  Does the GPU memory usage and "Load" increase when you open the project?  It is filling - and exceeding - your available VRAM memory on the graphics card?

I downloaded it this morning, and installed it, after removing it.
Will check again when I get home with the new install.
but before:
I load the project  and it's processing,  5 Gb is used out of 8  .  (in the main viewer it's using 0.5 Gb)
I am using the sample project that came with either a Training or default install I think.  Otherwise it's one of my many purchases.
It's located under projects at the top.  an house torned down on a hill seems like it.. with some trees.

I am using a Laptop indeed,   (https://www.asus.com/us/Laptops/ROG-G752VS)
Upgraded to 64 Gb Ram,  and 8 TB SSD space total
and a 1070 GTX card with 8 Gb
