sciroccorics.
Glad changing the Area light samples setting helped the speed of YafaRay.
I don't know if the Advanced settings tab (Shadow Bias and Min Ray Distance) is anything that would help with Shadow Rays???
I don't know what those settings do.
I could send an email to the developer with any suggestions for updates you might have if you want me to. No guarantee he will make the changes.
There is a place for that on the YafaRay website but since the site is down you cannot do that now.
I get the feeling from your post that you know something about the science behind 3d rendering. I only know what YafaRay can do and like what I see when I render with it...
