I quickly patched mlpov to include the halton distribution for radiosity.
You can download the win binary :

I'm not good at building radiosity test scenes (I'm not good at building
scenes at all :) so I can't really be sure that halton is better , So feel
free to try it with your radiosity scenes for low/mid/high count, your
comments are very welcome !

To activate the halton sequence instead of pov3.5 distribution :
#version unofficial mlpov 0.82;
radiosity {
  halton
  ..
}
if you use halton you can specify count > 1600

More test images with the scene from Jerome Colin :

(Warning, 6 png images = 350 ko, no jpg to avoid any compression artifacts)
to see differences between images you can download them and use an image
browser to quickly switch from one to another
