David,
I did some testing with different HDRI files and found that the one I use most of the time (Kitchen_Probe) produces a lot of noise. Other HDRI files produce very little noise. Simply changing the HDRI gives quality renders in the files I was having problems with.
I found the new settings (bg_smartibl_blur and ibl_clamp_sampling) you added for noisy HDRI files.
I will work on the code for that and see if Micheus can add it so that you can focus on fixing the problem you discovered in the core.
Thanks,
oort
