I don't gamble. At least with anything as trivial as money. ;)
I did not see Thomas's setting until I was about to post.

Thanks, I did not know that. At least the no_cache setting. I don't 
normally use radiosity myself.
Does that mean +am1 or +am2 enables stochastic rendering? I thought it 
was only +am3 that did that. But then I've only used UberPov when I was 
working on Dhalgren with Thomas and he set the quality settings.

I am an egg. :-)
Albeit a thousand-year-old egg. Yum yum.
