Yeah, I have the VFAQ, Warp. I was referring to this particular case,
namely 100 or more transparent media-filled spheres. I agree that
merge can be faster in the some cases, particularly when there are a
lot of transparent objects close together (like 100-200 transparent
surfaces) and media. This is, you should agree, a rare occasion.
