Yeah.

From what I understand, POV does a pre-trace to precompute a sample
tree.  Then, during the actual, render, POV creates any additional
samples needed.

What if there were a way, during the pretrace, to predict where
additional samples would be needed?  If so, then all the samples could
be taken during the pretrace, with no additional sampling during the
final render, with no loss in quality.
