Note that Stewer's tips really only work on spotlights... infinate lights' shadows work differently. If you are using infinate lights, the best thing you can do is try disabling shadows on some things (particularly things like very large or far away floors/grounds that don't need to cast a shadow anyway and that big room itself, if you can do without it casting a shadow).
