Both. :-)

I agree. The render takes very long. On my AMD64 3000+, I get about 
3PPS. So, I didn't bother to render it bigger than 160x120 (1h20m). I'm 
not sure what the extra 2 planes are doing. I can see that the plane{+y, 
-0.1} adds some nice ground effect. But it is also the one responsible 
for the slow render. I can't figure out what the plane{+y, +40} is doing 
though. Leaving it out doesn't seem to change anything.
