For little ol' me? Oh thankyou Spider!
Okay, I'm over it. That tree... what happened to it?! The leaves are
lost in a grean and gray murkyness. And your poor water got baffled by
all those tiny squares as well.
You may have stumbled upon something good though, no "jaggies" could be
found in all that black and white "pixelation" of both the water AND the
land too.
You really shouldn't have re-rendered at the cost of such a massive
parse. And heck, I thought you had more RAM than that (128 at least),
64MB is what I'm working with too.
What a parse to render ratio. Wow.
