hi,

this is an interesting discussion/insight into the inner workings.

but I'm troubled by

IMO no programmer should have to degrade the documentation to gain
performance.  to spare Kenneth (+others) the editing, I've written a
small utility which will strip comments from a given scene/include file
and output a new file named exactly as its input but prefixed 'nc_', ie

  $ nocomment myscene.pov

outputs 'nc_myscene.pov'.

I've run it against a bunch of distribution scene files and has no
problems.  the code (with Makefile) is posted in p.binaries.misc under
"nocomment".

regards, jr.
