I've got 376Mb of RAM, and the highest number of faces that I've managed
to use in a scene at once without the memory starting to swap is
481,868,158.

Some of the mesh2 objects that appear in the scene occur more than once.
One of them occurs 14,030 times. The actual number of distinct triangle
faces in the source code is only 73,376.
