I think the new feature is working properly now. Still have to test a
bit more. But the speedup is really astonishing. The newest image (the
grid of colorful blocks) on my site was first rendered in over 24 hours
with the old and slow method.

With the new direct lighting method I can achieve same noise levels in
less than hour, more like 30minutes! Than is more than one order of
magnitude speedup! And the smaller the light source is, the bigger the
difference gets.

W00t.
