FLASH....

Scale up!

This is the answer. I chased down the Ronstuff information and I believe this is the problem. I was at least correct in one respect, even from my newbie intuition...this is a math/decimal/truncation issue.

I just did one quick test, scaled up my character from 100% to 1000% and moved the shadow map size back to 30.

1. 37 second render time !!!!! [i fell out of my chair]
2. most flicker gone, just a little in there. I am kicking the shadow map up gradually until I find the correct spot.

Ronstuff makes the point that these issues pertain to CLOSEUPS! That's where the problem manifests and where the scaleup solution works like a charm.

More later.
