Well, the last time I rendered the full scene it took all night. That 
was before the recent changes. :(

Most of my scenes, in the end, take more than 24 hours to render with 2 
cores, more tipically about 72 hours...  :-)

How good is the radiosity pretrace as an estimator of how long a scene 
will take to render? Right now it takes about 10 seconds to render a 
pixel, even with a reduced texture quality.

objects.

Not for me to answer as I seldom use radiosity. 10 seconds a pixel, WOW!
