Here you go Bob. A new one, 
no chess-pieces in this, and the bush ended up underwater...
Sorry, but I don't feel like doing another render at the moment. 
it took 1h 20m  to parse it, and even more to render. 

I really hope you see the difference now :-)
Actually, its the same landscape, but with approx 100 000 points calculated, 
instead of 2500. (316x316 versus 50x50 grids)

and the number of boxes equals the number of points...

While parsing(The output takes memory), my swap file grew to 115 Mb, together
with my 64Mb ram, that's telling.
:-)

Next time, I'll skip the normal on the water, and the reflection. 
it takes too much processing time.

Hmm, for the vfaq(if it's not there) 
speed-issues : never have a surface both reflecting and filtering/transmmitting.
*hehe*

out, or sumthing.

stats :
1024x768 @AA0.3 (should have used more AA)
Mem : 92 637 325 (Probably allocated more, measuring my runtime-tools)
Parse : 1h 20m 39s
Trace : 2h 31m 05s
total : 3h 51m 44s
