Now try something even more CSG-involved  :-)

I'll agree this could have been half the file size.  Optimization here is
the general rule.

Yep, scale is off or those bricks aren't right behind it (focal blur
opportunity!).  Might have needed more AA depth; +r4 or Antialias_Depth=4 or
more to prevent the jaggies from showing up in that reflection.  It's plenty
smooth for sure on everything besides, so perhaps it's another problem.  Max
trace level too low maybe, just guessing, don't know if that would matter.
