here is much better version of my sprout box

I still looking fot "faster" settings
this was rendered over 40 hours :-(

current settings are :

global_settings{
  assumed_gamma 1
  ini_option "Quality=11"
  ini_option "Radiosity=yes"
  ini_option "Antialias=yes"
  ini_option "Sampling_Method=2"
  ini_option "Antialias_Threshold=0.1"
  ini_option "Jitter=no"
  ini_option "Antialias_Depth=3"
  radiosity{recursion_limit 3 brightness 1.2 normal on}
  max_intersections 255
  max_trace_level 255
  photons{count 20000 gather 20,100 autostop 0}
}

sky_sphere{pigment{gradient y color_map{[0 color blue .6][1 color rgb 1]}}}
light_source{<-30,30,-30>color rgb 1 photons { reflection on refraction on }}

object{
  Platform()
  texture{
    pigment{color rgb 1 transmit .95 }
    finish{
      ambient -0.3
      diffuse 0.8
      specular 0.1
      roughness 0.1
      metallic
      brilliance 1
      reflection_type 1
      reflection_min 0.0
      reflection_max 1.0
      conserve_energy
    }
  }
  interior{ior 1.5}
  photons {target 1.0 reflection on refraction on }
}

and some parts of output attached

any ideas what could it speed up without loosing quality ?
