+*lightprecision: this lets you choose the accuracy of lighting. You can use it to speed up calclighting. Best done in powers of 2, with larger powers for larger maps (for example: default is 32. You can use 64 or 128 for less accuracy and fast lighting, or you can use 16 for high accuracy but slow lighting).
