Hi!

  I wanted to know how slow this scene will be, with all the "hard" 
features turned on:

  + Blurred reflections, with the use of very fine normals and focal_blur   
  (little aperture, 32 samples, variance 0).

  + Radiosity data reused from a "dummy" version of the same scene, with    
  1/3 resolution, no area_lights, no normals and plain colors. This faked   
  version uses the same geometry, but more intense lights to add some       
  brigthness to the final scene.

  + 18 big area_lights

  Render time was about 30h, on AMD 1.2Ghz. Fortunatelly, I think adding 
more objects and details for the final render will not slow down it much 
more... will see. 

  Comments/criticism about the lighting and blurred reflections are welcome 
(most of the modelling and texturing is still "temporary").
