No, you can't generalize what are good settings for radiosity. This
enormously depends on scene geometry and textures. I'd suggest trying the
parameters in 'rad_def.inc', they were designed to produce fairly fast and
often quite reasonable results and are a good starting point to test how
modifications improve things in an individual situation.
