I can't say I understand all the radiosity settings - I've just adopted
Nathans's examples as an include file. I'll give you my starting values and my
interpretation of the settings:

count - 30, keep as low as possible. Increase If you notice uneven ambient
lighting or dark splotches
nearest_count - 4, increase if you get splotches.
error_bound - 2.5, use lower values if you use an object to illuminate the
scene
recursion_limit - 3, increase if you'd like "more" radiosity or if corners and
such are dark.

These settings are pretty fast, but I rarely increase count more than 50 for
the final render.

Hope this helps!

sig.
