I made my LEGO domes hollow and replaced plates with bricks in some
places. Then I ported the code to C and generated a data file for POV to
use. The runtime of the C program is negligable (~1.5s).

Old version of LEGO domes:

Smallest Alloc:                 26 bytes   Largest:           108584
Peak memory used:        487012441 bytes
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Time For Parse:    0 hours 48 minutes  24.0 seconds (2904 seconds)
Time For Trace:    0 hours 47 minutes  46.0 seconds (2866 seconds)
    Total Time:    1 hours 36 minutes  10.0 seconds (5770 seconds)


New version of LEGO domes:

Smallest Alloc:                 26 bytes   Largest:            72016
Peak memory used:        181457192 bytes
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Time For Parse:    0 hours  4 minutes  45.0 seconds (285 seconds)
Time For Trace:    0 hours 21 minutes   0.0 seconds (1260 seconds)
    Total Time:    0 hours 25 minutes  45.0 seconds (1545 seconds)
