I have to contradict you there: POV-Ray is getting the diffuse component 
wrong, as I found out when trying to use it as a reference to validate 
the radiosity code; see the thread "MCPov: Diffuse Reflection - UR Doin' 
it Wrong" in povray.unofficial.patches 
(news://news.povray.org:119/4b093e4b@news.povray.org)

I think what makes it /look/ more realistic is the blurred reflections & 
refractions instead of (Blinn-)Phong highlights.

As far as performance is concerned: I think it's really time we get a 
free-license 3.7 release out the door so someone can create & distribute 
a patch for stochastic rendering.
