No, stackerday and stackernight use radiosity, the others not.

I am pretty sure if the observation is correct you can reduce the amount 
of memory shown by the windows task manager by rendering in several 
parts - i can't think of any advantage of this though.

Rendering a scene in several parts is a common method for radiosity 
scenes but this is a completely different topic.
