I'm hurrying.  ;-)  I've got all sorts of great excuses (like final exams,
projects, graduating... yes, this is my last semester as an undergrad!)

The current project for the photon patch is to remove another 12 bytes per
photon of memory usage (bringing it down to 18 bytes per photon, I think).
That, along with the 10 bytes I removed yesterday, should help out some
of you with less RAM.

This memory optimization will come at a slight speed price in the pre-
processing step (but it should only be slight).
