OK, however, I am not sure if this won't change the results (but I haven't
looked into the heigh-field code so it may not).

Hmm, it seems to matter. For test 10 I got 49 seconds and for test 11 156
seconds. Can you please make the hf and texture available, too?

It should matter - if the HF image is different, the shape is different, and
in most cases the number of intersections with the shape is different, too.
The texture image should have little effect, though.

I have experienced that too. Tried the standard Skyvase-benchtest and
under Win98 it took 1m 15s, and under DOS 1m 13s. Now if I could only
become competent enough to get Linux running properly... ;)
