  Hmmm... try to use several copies of the object, and you will see it is 
not really quicker. Something as smooth as a sphere_sweep will take a lot 
of cones and spheres, wich declared and repeated a lot of times can be a 
real pain. Sphere_sweeps can be repeated with lower cost in rendering 
times, at least from my recent experience with 3.5.
