I got 2 min 19 sec for a 160x120 res rendering as is.
I changed the variance to 1/100 and confidence to 0.9 and got a 38 sec.
render, or almost 1/4 the time.
Not much noticeable difference in appearance I think.
And dropping intervals and samples down is like lightning speed by
comparison if you are into the media grain sort of thing ;)
'intervals' is the major speed factor next to the minimum samples
number. As long as these two stay low, ie. intervals 5 samples
1,whatever then your okay. But you'll certainly have that peppered look!
Actually the samples maximum makes little difference in speed.
