Thanks Bill. Yes, I agree with you.In the present case, I have lost again
quite a lot of render speed by using a more complex plant (mesh2 of course).
And now I have included also a media mist at the base of the (moved

Patience I have (in Yoda speak)... I think the end result will be very
interesting.
