Oh yes.

35 minutes on an averagely powerful PC!

What it actually is is a series of isosurfaces, each representing a "slice" 
of the pattern with different thresholds, hence the buildings are made out 
of segments that are thinner at the top. I could do it as a single 
isosurface using lots of min & max but it would be much slower.
