I took a closer look at the sides of the ?cobbles? and noticed this - no
crand look

No but You might try positioning all those stones with a macro of some
sort. - you could use the vegetate include (can't help you with a link
sorry ;+< ) to position & rotate them on an invisible half cylinder.
I noticed some are displaced a little - shoddy workmanship (on the part
of the
stonemason/bricklayer:) or ninja turtles trying to steal them for
_uncomfortable_ pillows :-?

Also you might try isosurface stones instead of superelipsoids like
Chris suggested
-Faster & much more flexible - you could use subtraction to make some
cracks &
noise3d to vary their shape a little.
Manual octree box bounding could also help with speed.
