I've written a post in reply to my image which covers the radiosity-settings
and the rendering times for the two passes. Since so many asked, I only went
through the hassle of answering once. :-)

High praise (though most of it goes to POV-Ray, but I had a little influence
in it. :-) Thank you very much!

But I agree totally, there are quite a few commercial renderers which I find
truly lacking, though one could argue that if an experienced User would sit
at it, he/she would get good results too. It's not like this is the first
time I've played with radiosity. :-)
