	Real time is always BS. 

	About a year ago I posted a little klein bottle .pov with each point a
sphere with and ior. Guesses were at least two weeks to parse with a
300MHz CPU. Your estimates will vary. 

	That would be one hell of a cluster for real time. 

	That is why the movie CGI folks play for speed. 

	In all of them, watch for shadows. That is currently the test.
