I used a photon count of 200000. I'm rendering it again at a
slightly different angle and with half that count. Should be more
realistic caustics. This render will be 800x600 and a stereoscopic
pair, so that will take perhaps the whole weekend to complete.
It is currently rendering at less than 1 PPS.
