Using no_shadow is the better way since this significantly speeds up an
indoors scene (often by 2x). Infact, extend that to include all walls not
casting shadows (read: every single wall + roof & floor if the room is just a
modified box).

As a rule of thumb one should always use the no_shadow keyword whenever it
doesn't break a scene.
