This was the idea: parse mesh once!

Well, Rhino exports smooth triangles and I use mostly them. But triangles are
event easier to deal with.

Couple of days ago I got my IRTC cd-rom and looked at POV-Ray v. 3.01 source.
As it appears, this should not be too hard to accomplish, so I try it by
myself. At first I try to avoid hard case (each triangle with own tex) and
try to read simple meshes with only one tex per mesh.
