IR samples - how high is too high?

[thomthom]

I got this scene, interior, lit only by lights coming in through the windows. Sun only.

In the back where things gets darker it's very splotchy. I'm using IR+LC.

IR: -3 / 0
HSph: 100
Samples: 20
Rest default

LC:
Subdiv: 1000
Rest default.




If I blast the HSph up to 200 there's less noise - but still some.



Isn't that a bit high value?
Is there some other parameter I should tweak?
