You can give it a try in hgpovray (there is a stl_load and stl_save )

The main issue with povray mesh import is the unique indexing of 
vectors: when the data structure is not like mesh2, each new component 
need to perform a search in previous values.

Even the parsing of a mesh get slowed down as the number of triangles 
increased. Fast for 100, Normal when reaching 10 000, crawling after 1 
000 000.

Mesh2 avoid the search because the uniqueness is done before (by the 
generator of mesh2).
