Yeah, just noticed that as well. 15 samples on a second pass.

But 15 samples in relation to 5000 or even 50000 is not really
worth mentioning, so for the theory of low_error_factor and
its sampling one could neglect it (unless someone is using really
weird scene settings which shoots almost no samples in the
pretraces, but requires lots of em in the end).

So, question still remains why there are so much less samples?
