It's radiosity data, but I'm not sure why you ran out of memory; don't you have
any swap space? Anyway, you should still be able continue the render, discarding
the old octtree and generating a new one. The render will be slower, though.
As for the render time, that's nothing. You'll see, when my current render
finishes :)
