I would reduce the pretrace_end...

... set count to "256,10000" or some such (not sure whether it will make 
much of a difference though)

... increase the low_error factor (0.5 seems a sane value)...

... and set nearest_count to "20,10" or something alike, to make use of 
adaptive pretrace.

Recently an error has been reported in 3.70RC3 causing noticeable 
splotches when using only very few pretrace steps with a high 
pretrace_end setting; maybe that's related to what we're seeing here.

Unless you're using the current developers' version, that is. In that 
case you're already running with a fix for that error.
