Hello all,
    Can I get an in-depth explanation as to why radiosity rendering slows
down so much as nearest_count is increased? From the POV-Ray 3.5 docs, and
my test renderings, it seems that nearest_count is simply interpolating
between samples, which hardly sounds compute-intensive.

Thanks,
George Pantazopoulos
