1 min 6 sec IS a pretty dam long time to wait for a few hundred cubes to be
generated! I mean, if I were trying to do something COMPLICATED, then yes,
but all I'm doing is plotting a fairly simple function. And hey, this is a
1.4 GIGGAHERTZ computer, man! (I still can't believe they can actually make
a computer go that fast... unreal...)

As I said, I'm sure my loony 3D-random function is the culprit, but I have
nothing better ATM...

Why am I doing this? Erm... would you be suprised if I said "because I can"
or "becuase I wanna see how it works"? That and I'm interested in creating
some specialised noise functions of my own - if I can get this one to work!

Andrew.

PS. I'm currently looking into the cryptanalysis of the DES. Key-searches
aside, it's suprisingly unbreakable... or I haven't found the correct
website yet ;-)
