Hello,
in v2.1.1 I fixed two bugs affecting HDRI background. One of them was significant (it was illuminating the diffuse in the wrong places)
There is more information here: http://yafaray.org/node/714
So now with v2.1.1 or higher, IBL rendering may be more grainy because you have all the light, but it should be more realistic than before and the final image after removing all noise will be much nicer than before.
In v3.0.0-beta I introduced new parameters to reduce noise in IBL background processing. I will try to include them in the plugin.
However I'm now quite busy with Core because I found now another bug regarding HDRI IBL, and this affects all versions as far as I know. See: http://yafaray.org/node/752
