Without knowing your scene it is not possible to really help you.  You
probably just use some inefficient way to generate the particles in a
recursive way.  Per se there is never any need to build object "trees" in a
completely recursive way, nor would it be efficient, i.e. if you are using
unions POV-ray would ten just need time to split them or be very slow.
