I'm not sure about it, but maybe, just maybe, using a larger resolution for the 
first pass could help. It may gather more radiosity samples.
A low error_bound need higher count, you may need around 1000 or more, possibly 
all the way up to 1600. I regularly use count in the 300~500 range with default 
error_bound.
