Assuming you use geometric fur. If you treat fur not as objects but as a
volumetric thing, you can do it with O(1) memory usage.

This post is an advert for my final-year project, which is to patch
POV-Ray to provide fur support (going far beyond what is in the patch
currently in MegaPOV). See my posts in povray.programming, and watch
this space!
