Well, it certainly was under 20M... I just restarted a continue of the scene
with a slightly modified scene to get rid of the cutaways. (fingers crossed)
And the several MB of meshes is just the file size on disk; in memory they
certainly should be much smaller!

And, getting a scene that takes lots and lots of hours to render is easy if
you're an isosurface freak like me, and put in enough many complex big glass
objects with interiors and fresnel reflections and other fun stuff. :-)
There's only 1200 frame level objects, so it's not that complex as scenes
go.
