Okay, I've attached two jpegs. 'flake_SEM1_16' uses a standard 
area_light and took 1m 16s to render. 'flake_SEM1_20' uses an 
area_illuminate flag and took 1m 20s to render. They both use all the 
same render settings, but the area_illuminate scene looks darker for the 
obvious reasons. These images were not post-processed in any way.

I hope this was helpful.
