My include file does about 50,000/minute on a 133 MHz PI.  However, I don't
include anything to prevent sphere overlap.  Still, it can do random scaling
and rotation.

I use a separate loop for each combo of random location, size, and rotation.
Also, I take EVERYTHING I can out side of the main while loop.
