I was also heading for media-clouds, and I've had good
experience with using them, even with large size renders.
And it might be a good idea to render the clouds in one
pass, and image-map them later, but using the same
lighting setup.

Didn't have the time yet to begin with it, cause I'm feverishly
trying to finish my Water-Surface-Simulation...

Bit I agree on the lighting setup needing to be finalized
before attempting good clouds.
