Some hints on media:
The actual default sampling method is method 3.
That sampling method realy DON'T like intervals: Leave intervals to it's 
default of 1. Increasing intervals hugely increase the rendering time.
If you need more sampling, only increase samples.
intervals 10 samples 1, 10 (resulting in only 10 samples) is MUCH slower 
than intervals 1 samples 120...

ONLY the first value of samples is ever used. If you have two values, 
the second is silently ignored. samples default value is 10 and need to 
be at least 3.
The parameters ratio, confidence and variance are NOT used and silently 
ignored.
