I tried a scene with many isosurface with different parameters for
f_rounded_box and found that removing the offset reduces the overall
render time for the scene by about 2%. Though "a lot" slowdown is
overestimated it is noticeable.

I have a wip scene which uses f_rounded_box a lot and unfortunately
no shadow is not an option. But thank you for the hint anyway.
