I'm happy that someone likes this.

Yes I agree.

Some people in these newsgroups have tried to 
convince me to use MegaPov since April (I think).

Two months ago the temptation had grown so great 
that I installed it.

And one month ago I "discovered" iso-surfaces. 

Now I (almost) admit that I regret that I did 
not install MegaPov earlier.  ;)

I don't remember the stats, but I see now that 
the large one with the wrinkles renders at about 
18 pixels per second (at my 100MHz Pentium).

1024 x 768 / 3600 = 218.5        218.5/18 = 12.1

(So by this calculation it takes about 12 hours 
to render.)
