Yep, I figured that out when I got all the parameters matching but the 
3.6 beta threw out more rays.


Just for completeness sake here's the stats for 3.6 beta

Total Scene Processing Times
   Parse Time:    0 hours  0 minutes  9 seconds (9 seconds)
   Photon Time:   0 hours  2 minutes 39 seconds (159 seconds)
   Render Time:   1 hours 33 minutes 37 seconds (5617 seconds)
   Total Time:    1 hours 36 minutes 25 seconds (5785 seconds)
