I wanted to do the sponge in pure csg. So I did a lot of differences, that
resulted in this long rendertime.

Gilles gave me a tricky hint on doing the mengersponge very easy and fast.
My old code is just wasting of electric power and time.   :-(


But now I know that my new Athlon works stable even for days...
