This is a problem with advanced computationally expensive features. It used
to be that simple layered textures took forever to render in POV-Ray and
now with faster CPUs/FPUs you hardly notice them. So hopefully in the future
the pain we suffer with the current slower features will be mitigated by
having better hardware to work with.
