  I think that a better way to do this is not jittering the samples but
using the same method as with halos: Antialiasing. When 2 samples differ
too much from each other, a third sample is taken from the middle of them.
  This will:
  a) Make a lot smoother and better looking media
  b) Render a lot faster.
