It has taken 4 days to render 1 pixel that I am now looking at. :(

I do not think the textures would bake well, as they are slope based and  
use interior, in addition to the fact they are designed to be blended by  
the "blobbing" of differently textured blobs.

However the profiler idea is very interesting.

I have converted a beta of this to pov 3.7 but it blows up during  
parse/just before render with an "unspecified error"; this was attempted  
using only a pigment of <1,1,1> and nothing more complex. No syntax errors  
encountered. The MegaPov #set keyword is the only non-standard feature  
used; #local works fine with 3.6 but not 3.7 when I tested, if I recall  
correctly.
