Finished this render today: 3 days, 21 hours.

I think i will not work much more on this particular setup, the sky surely
could use some improvements, but it's more interesting to try some
different shapes.

I followed R. Suzuki's suggestion to try using 'evaluate' to speed up the
render.  Although i don't have a direct comparison, i think it is
significantly faster.  Radiosity settings are slightly higher quality than
before.

The statistics show a number of DNoise calls being a new personal record
for me: nearly 257 billions, the previous maximum was 220 billions ;-)

What's probably more interesting is the histogram i generated for the
render, it can be found on:

It also shows that the horizon is not slower than the rest of the scene.
