Hi,  I'm curious,  is there a rendering time differnce between
two objects that are unioned and two objects that are merged?  And
while on the topic, what's the difference between them?  They both
seem to do the exact same thing to me.  Thanks.

You might want to check out the POV VFAQ at 
http://iki.fi/warp/povVFAQ.html#csgspeed
<p>
You might also want to check out the fine manual.  If that
doesn't make sense to you, try rendering some semitransparent 
objects with union and merge and see if you can see the difference.
