Some testing results from this workflow....

Indirect Light Quality - the help text says it effects gather and AO quality, neither of which are being used using this workflow.  Maybe it can be set to 0?  From my limited testing, I couldn't see any difference between having it at 0 or 100.

Irradiance Caching - This slider greatly impacts the rendertime - in an exponential fashion.  The simplest scene with an IC of 100 will take a few hours to render (on my Dual core, 4Gig machine).  I can see why Maxxx is looking to reuse the Irrandiance Cache, since for setting 50 and up, it will take longer to do than the actual render.  IC uses the ray bounces, so the total time to calc indirect light will be based on IC * Raytrace Bounces.  I'm still running tests to find the best balance.
