bounce 0 in light?

When you run the LIGHT compile, add the option/variable:

-bounce 0

This will prevent radiosity from being calculated.

You can also specify -fast

Also, calculating static shadows for models adds a lot of time, but that is not on by default. A full radiosity render can take days if you map and lighting are complex.
More info about compiling options here:

(last post has sample batch file, Jv's has all the compile options)

Yes Diego is correct the -bounce 0 in your lighting options will skip the radiosity part, personaly I think radiosity is not worth the time it takes anyway, you see little or no effect for it.
