Sky environment and Harsh Shadows

Has anyone figured out if sky environments can produce anything but sharp shadows. The turbidity setting seems to diffuse the light and shifts the light color appropriately, but it does not soften shadows as I would expect. Is this a limitation of Octane or a bug? Or perhaps a hardware limitation I have?

Set the daylight mode to "New" and then increase the sun size.
