Surfaces with independent sample levels

Some surfaces are noisier than others and take larger sample levels to complete.
Would it be possible to lock in surfaces that take only a sample level of 6, for example, and leave them constant while another surface continues to refine to a level 12? Kinda like realtime baking based on preselected levels for each surface.

I think this was suggested before, it is a GREAT idea and I think one of the most realistic approaches to speeding up Maxwell. I cross my fingers this will be possible in Maxwell.

This is very similar to using a render tag in Cinema 4D for specific objects groups, selections, or whatever to increase samples in a specific problem area or to decrease samples in another area where rendering level is fine.

This is would wonderful in maxwell!
