That's the case in most scenes - since the light source itself does not 
actually turn up in the HDR light probe it will often look too dark.

If you however compine HDRI with conventional light sources, in case of 
your kitchen for example place an area light at the window position in 
addition it will look OK.  I guess both variants can be useful.

But all samples taken in the final trace will not profit from this.  And 
in scenes like this you usually have a lot of in-trace samples taken.
