Good.  Thanks for explaining what should be expected of radiosity.  This
case is definitely beyond a couple of orders of magnitude, probably three,
as it has run 120 times longer than a render without radiosity, and has now
progressed to 11%.

I'll let it go until tomorrow night - it is already 1:50am and I've already
stolen too much sleep time from work tomorrow - and then I'll pull the
render and redo those settings.
