Hmmm ... IIRC aren't there a couple of parameters that /have/ to be the
same during the save AND load passes in order to get the best results
... count and error_bound seem to be ringing a bell.

Having to specify always_sample on during load DOES seem to be contrary
to why you would say off (default) ... time savings

The doc passage:
http://wiki.povray.org/content/Documentation:Reference_Section_3.2#always_sample

seems to being saying that there MAY be cases that you would have to
"override the behavior"
