That's unfortunate because his simulations always leave me wanting that extra
few seconds.  My solution for now is that I think I will set up a script:
Crunch-parse-render-repeat.  Something like a screensaver.  Right now I run out
of space long before I run out of time.  It took ~10-15 hours to accumulate 80GB
of data, although that's the full double-precision velocity field.  I'd be
willing to run something on my home computer, but at 384 MB RAM and 867 MHz, I
don't know how far it would get.  Perhaps if the renderfarm were used for both
calculating and rendering, only an occasional restart file and images would
need to be transfered.  Not that I'm offering your resources, of course.
Excellent work though.  It'd be a shame for it to go unrendered.
