  The best settings seem to be user and scene dependant. For example, he
says:

"1. Adaptive sampling method is pretty inacurate and doesn't seem to speed
up tracing , it even happened that it slowed down it , while producing
unwanted artifacts in a picture, so keep DISTANCE_MAXIMUM at 0."

  I used distance maximum 1 in my test images and they look quite good.
Lowering it to less than 1 slows down the rendering.

"2. Higher COUNT than 200 doesn't produce much better results, but it slows
down raytracing. Keep it round 150 if not doing scenes with lots of small
objects that are emitting light."

  Well, with the images in my "radiosity test 2"-page using a count of
150 makes them quite awful.
