A gather size of

    radius .09*phd*sqrt(20)/2, 1 // only one gather size
                                 // (all photons are the same density)

works better on that test scene I posted.

If your gather size is too small, your caustics (both reflective and
refractive) may be a bit darker than they should be.  I'll have
to test this more.
