Just do a simple bit of arithmetic and you will see this does not make 
much sense.  311373 samples in a 320x240 render - that's about 4 samples 
per pixel and you still have nearly the whole final trace left with 
always_sample on, in the end it is probably about 5-6 samples per pixel. 
  Of course it is possible to use such radiosity settings but there is 
not much reason to do such a render.
