PS: That wasn't meant as an offence. The "lurker" was
used in regard to "more people ... than those posting".
I plan on doing some more work on the LSSM, in order
to do even more JIT-Loading, at the expense of some
more #if statements...

I noticed that the loading sucks in larger scenes, like
used for one of my later images, DripDrop. I placed
several different timed LSS_Drops, and since I've
been using 50 pre-image steps with a large resolution,
each drop would load forever. Now, for a still, this
can't be helped, but I've ran it as an animation for a time
to grab the correct frame, the loading was unnecessary
for drops which weren't or already have been placed.
So I changed that, and went on doing that for other
macros as well. I guess I can make some other macros
even faster with more excessive usage of that.
