It can, and as mentioned in the docs: Max-Trace has only an effect if really required
by
the scene. Perhaps it is on some spots where reflection goes nuts on the woman...

Have a look at www.digitaltwilight.de/no_lights/index.html , you'll find the finished

Not that much, but yes, I like it. Parsing and Tracing have increased significantly
after

switching from 256 MB Ram with 800 MHZ Athlon to the new one (about threefold), and
especially images like these are only endurable to make because lowres versions (with
some objects switched off) don't take hours. It's a real improvement, and helps me
going
