I am writing an .inc (I'll post it at binaries.utilities, how about here?)
and I face a problem. Which renders and/or parses faster:

intersection
{    union
    {    object Obj1 texture { T_Obj1 }
        ...
        object { Obj10000 texture { T_Obj10000 } }
    }
    plane { [plane_params and stuff] }
}

or this one:

union
{   intersection
    { object { Obj1 }
       object { Plane }
    }
    ...
    intersection
    { object { Obj10000 }
       object { Plane }
    }
}

Even more important to me is which one is more memory-efficient ( I have 32
Megs )
