max trace level = 10-15

Rendering something like hair you start transmitting to clear around 10
with little visible improvement after 15.


These were rendered at a trace level of 10 in 7 minutes. Reflection is quick,
transparency takes time.

here the rule "less=more" applies, with 4 spheres not 5
