Excellent advice!

I simply took the "finish" blocks out of the #while loop, and this alone made it
around 7 times faster, by my calculations.

I don't know if there are other tweaks to the scene (I'm looking into radiosity
right now, as it seems to be a good candidate for optimization), bu this already
makes it feasible to render the scene.

Thanks a lot! :D
