I feel a lot better knowing that it drove someone I /know/ has more skill
than me nuts. :)

Thanks to you and Marc. I have started both including max_gradient based
on a prior render with eval and tweaking its value to get slightly
different results, with a lovely increase in speed that gives me hope for
actually being able to finish the ultimate image these tests are meant to
eventually lead to. Between isosurfaces, media, and an intent to use
radiosity, I envision the render time on the ultimate image to be rather
long...

Still saving up for that 1Ghz machine,

Tina
