is the crater an isosurface or insane amount of blobs? sure difference with
that will be slow...

hmm, if union isn't any faster than merge... have you rendered the crater alone
to measure its render time?
supposing the planet is a sphere (or a blob), if you just make a difference with
an unevenly scaled sphere (component) and union the result with the crater, does
it get any slower than the rendering time of the crater alone?
