Mike Williams' enhancement sped things up even more. Thanks to everyone who
helped out...

The sample scene in p.b.i. (DBStones.pov) sped up a LOT. It was taking my
computer almost 9 hours to render @ 1024x768 aa.3 before y'all's
suggestions, and back to under 30 minutes after the optomizations. The
actual scene that I made the macro for, however, saw a less significant
improvement, but it still renders in about 5-6 hours. Radiosity and/or media
in the scene is out of the question, though, as long as the stones are used.
Render time becomes astro-freakin'-nomical. No moonbeams shining in through
the crypt window. :(

Regards,
Dave
