  I have always noticed, that planes are strangely slow to render, while
boxes are much faster, and I have always wondered why. In a box, you have to
test the intersection with 8 sides while in a plane you have to test the
intersection with just one side. If you make 50 big boxes it surely will
render faster than 50 planes.
  Can anyone explain why is this?
