The OcclusionMaster vendor page here at Rendo has a good tutorial:

note that this tutorial does NOT require OcclusionMaster, but it is a very useful time-saving tool, especially when you want to mess around with AO for multiple figures in a scene!
I used to worry about render time and fiddle with AO settings but I got tired of hearing that my shadows looked like dirt. I set Irradiance Caching to 99 and don't worry about it any more.
