You may want to use +am2 instead of the default of +am1.
am1 tend to get jaggies at the edges of the render blocks, using am2 
solves this.

Using a smaller A value is often enough. I routinely use +a0.1, down to 
+a0.03.

Increasing R is often useless unless you use +am3. In that case, using 
+r4 or +r5 is often required.
Using larger value here is normally overkill.
