Many thanks for the feedback, cheers! =)

I looked at the radiosity values again, and tried once more with error_bound
increased from 0.05 to 1.8, I raised count from 150 to 200 though and also had
low_error_factor 0.6 added in there to see what happens. In camera I reduced
aperture from 0.35 to 0.25 just to finetune it a bit more. The result however
didn't differ that much from the first one as the changes were so minor
afterall. The render time was 06h 53m 56s so only a tad less.

I looked at the rad_def.inc as well and tried some of the alternatives, but in
the end I think my own settings made the scene more to my own liking.

Changes that I'd still like to try for slight quality tunings would probably
take me back to the good ol' 386/486 days for the rendering times, hehe. So I
think I'll just have to upgrade my computer at some point now. :D
