The object pattern is yet another different animal: It uses code that's
in POV-Ray anyway; and all it does is test whether a given point is
inside a single given object or not - there is no need to skim through a
long list of objects (unless you're using a complex CSG object, but in
that case things may get slow pretty quickly with the object pattern as
well).

I think so, yes.
