no worries.  I fixed it.  It's WAY faster now.

I simply changed the way I saved the data -- from an array of points to a union
for each frame, with an index file that gets rewritten every frame and forms a
union of the unions.  My test render only took about 8 hours.

Though I suppose persistent variables would save quite a bit of time, I really
want this to be useful in the official version.

I also fixed a problem with the random distribution of particles being the same
for each frame.
