I scaled the turbulence longer in the y direction and made the animation
quicker and boy did that improve the fire a lot! :D
In my opinion that is... :)

The bad news is that it looks horrible on any background but black, even
dark grey. That makes it pretty useless for practical purposes. :(

If only POV-Ray could adjust the output pixels with an exponential curve as
I, and others as well, have requested before, then it might work on brighter
backgrounds too.

Oh well, I'll probably have to use media for now but I think it's a shame
since the glows look so good. :(
