In his Radiosity Voodoo articles (povray.text.tutorials), clipka recommends
setting always_sample to off.

In 3.6, error_bound should be the same for both passes, otherwise the 2nd pass
would take eons.  I haven't tested this in 3.7.

In his Radiosity Voodoo articles, clipka recommends setting nearest_count to 1,
especially during the final render.  However, the current documentation suggests
that this would have poor results.  Although I can't recall the details, I
remember that I didn't get satisfactory results by tweaking this.
