  Actually the montecarlo approach is pretty fast and efficient (when done
right, like Nathan has done).
  Nathan's improvements are just marvelous. A scene which takes several hours
to render with povray's regular radiosity at recursion level 2 takes only
about 10 minutes with Nathan's modifications at recursion level 4 and the
result is much better.
  IMHO, we need no stinking "true" radiosity.
