Help with irradience map!!

[sdesvb]

I have a scene where I am calculating the iR mapp and then when I am trying to use the map to speed up the render the machine calculates it again??

In my Advanced irr map parameters I have selected FROM FILE and specified the proper .vrmap file but no good!! it starts by doing all the prepasses and it takes for ever.

Any ideas guys ... this is really buging me now

You probably are just seeing interpolated glossy being calculated. Are you using interpolated glossies?
