This a good example to show the value of the yuqk / v4.0 idea of 
providing a 'munctions.inc' / macro defined functions include.

The yuqk fork has no 'eval_pigment', but it does have a munction called 
   M_evaluate_pigment(). The following runs in about 4.5 seconds, 
elapsed, on my old i3.

In this case, I think, you can mostly emulate what was done with 
M_evaluate_pigment() in official releases of POV-Ray - to some degree or 
other.
