Awww.  It's in the beta?  I picked a fine time to run 'rm -rf /media/WINDOWS'.
I guess I'll have to be patient.  Oh well.  No regrets.

If I had to take a guess at the answer to your question, I'd say that
restricting the use to surface illumination from subsurface scattering means
you can make quite a few optimizations.  Here's an example, but I'm not sure
how much of this is included in the beta:

I think photon mapping and such was also mentioned, but again, I'm not sure
exactly what is implemented, and I think we all know whom to ask for a better
explanation...
