Perhaps this question is not about animations, per se, but I'm trying to
follow a select few of these povray newsgroups.

I am working on an animation.  I had the characters running on a plane.
The render time for 50 frames was maybe 12 hours. I wanted to make them
running instead on one long narrow strip.   I set up some CSG with the
plane, by looking at the intersection of three planes.   The render time
increased to over 24 hours.   I don't have the parsing vs. true render
time, etc., in front of me.  Does CSG with infinite objects greatly
increase overall render time?

Would a 2000 unit long box take less render time than a CSG'ed plane?
