Interesting!  I'll have to put that in.

I've been looking at the 3.5 beta today, and getting some pretty impressive
results.
Some of the things that I noticed are that radiosity amplitude of 40 was not
necessary anymore, values around 1 seem just fine.  Also, I have some leds
that are viewed through light pipes (spotlights that "look like" LED
objects) and they could also be turned WAY down from what they were.

I did see some light that appears to have come through my solid case, in
places where there's no holes, but I'm re-rendering now, with the light
values scaled back twoard 1, to see if maybe that was just a math error.

I also am looking at "photons", as this project involves some transparent
and "lensy" plastics.

Looks like a lot more fun to be had with POV :)
