I set the media:

media {
scattering {2, rgb <.4,.3,.5> extinction .2}
samples 5,60
intervals 20
ratio .8
confidence .9
variance 1/1000

}

Started the render last night before I went home (1280x1024 AA 0.01).  When
I came in this morning it was only 18% done 15hours later... :(  I had to
abort so that I could use my computer to work...)
