Hehehe, you think 36 samples is high? That can be a drop in the bucket when speaking of clean/glossy reflections.

I posted some info on A&D samples in my blog last year that you may find helpful:

But it's mostly the same thing that's already been discussed here..except it has some pretty pictures with it..lol.

Something that hasn't been mentioned yet (that I saw) is the mia_envblur shader. If your objects are reflecting an HDR environment (kinda looks like may be), then you may want to see this post on Zap's blog:
