To understand why this is important:

Last time I tried to post this stuff to Zazzle, I gave up after about 40 
hours of rendering. It *still* wasn't of satisfactory quality! But with 
a 50x speedup [it doesn't say against which CPU], it's plausible that I 
might *finally* be able to generate high-quality images!

(Note that rendering is *not* resumable! Hence 40 hours of rendering 
requires me to go without sleep, etc.)
