It's faster to try different parameters and also easier.

In povray you have to render the scene to see the result.  Furthermore, if you
do not like a particular arrangement, you have to do some translate stuff to get
something different, I only have to take a different random seed.

Yes.

As i already said, i currently only use one RMF.  In my program, superposing 3
calculations would require 3x the time.  I expect, it's the same with an
isosurface.
