I did an image a while back using a 256x256 area light + radiosity. It 
didn't take that long...

I have a vague feeling that "adaptive" only works properly for a power 
of two - anyone confirm/deny?

Anyway... I presume the grooves are an isosurface? What about the liquid 
- what's that? Does it use some kind of media?

Mmm, OK... So not slow then. Does look good though...
