Yeah, this is on a quad core though. (AMD Phenom 9950)

my radiosity block:
pretrace_start 0.08
pretrace_end 0.01
error_bound 0.2
count 150
low_error_factor 0.5
minimum_reuse 0.01
recursion_limit 2
nearest_count 4


I'm thinking that I could up the error_bound and make it faster, but the 
count is needed for the amount of media, and the recursion_limit is as 
low as I want to go with all the reflection.
