I usually get such artifacts when using reflection/refraction in my 
radiosity scene.

Hmm, is the bunny mesh unaltered? If so, you can play with the 
'decimate' modifier in Blender to reduce the number of triangles in the 
mesh. Since the bunnies are small, the scene won't suffer if the meshes 
are somewhat simpler.

It's a nice scene, at any rate. You're a patient guy (but not as patient 
as the ones who wait >day for a render! [I'm not one of them...]).
