It's more recommendable to use the URL:
http://iki.fi/warp/povVFAQ.html
instead. This URL will automatically direct you to the right place. The
advantage of using this URL is that it will (hopefully) never change
although the real place of my homepages could do so (for example when
I leave this school). It's also easier to remember.
"Iki" is a finnish prefix which means "eternal", "ever-", etc.

Yes, indeed it does. Redirect to the actual webpage that is.
I used your new URL then I copy and pasted into my txt of urls when to
my surprise it wasn't iki anymore, just the same familiar one! In my
rush I failed to notice the URL on the browser address bar had already
changed by the time I attempted to copy it. Take note people.

New idea for the VFAQ...
In the render time area...
When you have many objects with the same texture, union them and apply the texture
only
once. This will decrease parse time and memory use.
Here is an example I have been working with, it isn't as simple as you want it, but I
think you understand the idea.
//Spider
#version 3.1;
#declare EndY = 2500;
#declare EndX = 2000;
#declare Drops = 1250;
global_settings {
assumed_gamma 1.0
max_trace_level Drops*2 //Ridiculously high....
}
camera {
location <0.0, -700, -4500>
direction 1*z
right 4/3*x
look_at <0.0, 0.0, 0.0>
}
#declare M_solid = material { texture { pigment { rgb <.8, .3, .8> } } }
#declare drop = sphere { <0,0,0>, 4 }
union {
#local DropsInv = 1/Drops;
#local s1 = seed(666);
#local s2 = seed(777);
#local Amount = 40;
#local N = 0;
#while(N<=1)
#local TransY = N*EndY;
#local LoopX = N*EndX;
#while(LoopX>0)
#local TransX = LoopX;
object { drop translate <TransX, TransY, 0>
rotate <0,rand(s2)*360,0>
// material{M_solid} //<--SLOW
}
#local LoopX=LoopX-Amount;
#end
#declare N=N+DropsInv;
#end
material{M_solid} //<--FAST
translate <0,-.5*EndY,0>
}

But still, it's a question of aroun 15Mb of memory.... In the case of a rather simple
texture. 33k objects
