I took off on my own last night on a parlor rendering with radiosity and found
that if you set
#default{finish{ambient 0.0}} you get virtually no radiosity in the picture. The
scene that I was
working on only took 5 minutes. Increasing ambient to 0.05 is enough to bring in
radiosity affects
and increase render time to over 14 minutes.
So, lesson #1: Radiosity    *needs*    ambient values above zero.
