You *might* get it to run even faster by copy/pasting the eval_pigment macro
from functions.inc directly into your scene code, instead of 'including' the
full .inc file.

#macro eval_pigment(pigm, vec)
    #local fn = function { pigment { pigm } }
    #local result = (fn(vec.x, vec.y, vec.z));
    result
#end

I rarely use the .inc files directly, just the bits and pieces that I need.
