I should have mentioned I use the 64 setting with soft shadows, because they are too grainy around the edges for my tastes at 36 or below. I always drop all the way down to 4 when I'm checking out my composition and plop render only the sections of the screen I'm concentrating on before I'm ready for a final render (big time saver).

This is not my "second childhood". I'm not finished with the first one yet.
