Yes, I understand that 3.7.b radiosity isn't as good as 3.6, but I'm 
willing to live with it until it is improved. At this point I haven't 
felt the need to go back to 3.6, since only the new beta versions 
support multi-threading. Really, I can get some nice radiosity renders 
out of 3.7. Smooth shading, small details. The quality of enclosed areas 
is still a bit dodgy, but it's not too bad.

I just hope that in the end 3.7's radiosity will still render at a good 
clip :)
