Yes, indeed, the rendering time is heavily increased with this approach. The
only option to reduce it a little bit is to give proper bounding boxes
(bounded_by) since bounding with csg-differences or -intersections are not
implemented as one would expect in POV. But I think this would be a very hard
job, and so I can understand, that this issue has not been addressed so far.

I really hope that this WIP will make it to the contest. At the moment I have no
idea to link my imagined image to the topic. May be the Men-An-Tol as a stargate
at the background, just to keep it cornish.


Best regards,
