That's interesting. The mesh deformation would be handled in a *completely*
different way than for other objects, right?

But for deformed meshes the parsing time would increase and rendering time
would be unchanged, like with my macro, I think.

I'm sure a mesh deforming patch would be much quicker than my mesh deforming
macro. It's just that nobody has made such a patch *yet*...

Also, my macro gives the user full control over the deformation. How would
the user control the deformation in your patch? (I mean the deformations for
meshes.)

Yes. I never said it was quick... :)
