Yes, from the last 1 or 2 3.7 betas, maybe a little more.
With that, you can have samples 10000 for your radiosity, but only for 
the objects that realy need that. With a default importance on 0.01, 
you'll get an average of 100 samples for most of the scene and up to 
10000 for the more important objects.
