Yeah, it must have...512-64?
That's...<http://www.google.com/search?q=512-64>...448MB? Just a little 
under half as much as the scene was using...I'm guessing that made some 
difference. Want to run a test using about a third as many patches?

Hmm, systems with lots of memory bandwidth and space (like the PPC G5 or 
most recent Athlons) would probably do pretty well with type 1 patches...
