Even better, 'stochastic' is also supported by version 3.8! I generally use:

+am3 +a0.01 +ac0.90 +r3

and in the radiosity block a count between 10 and 50

varying +a, +ac and +r values increases/decreases the stochastic quality 
(and render time!).

THere must be some documentation by clipka but I am unable to find it 
presently, sorry.
