I suspect the problem is that you are using too many intervals, and that 
method 3 can only do it's anti-aliasing within an interval. Since you 
have so many intervals, many of which are entirely in flat areas which 
only need a few samples, you are pushing up the minimum total number of 
samples.
Try simply increasing the number of samples and adjusting the 
aa_threshold and aa_level values instead, so it can skimp out on the 
flat areas...you shouldn't even need to have more than 1 interval in 
MegaPOV.
