This will sure take some time and memory to process!  How many 
super-computers do have available for this scene? ;)

An other alternative, if I may suggest, is to put your 3D grass at the 
front, but farther, it's no longer necessary (specially if you decide to 
use focal-blur), so in the far you can use a simple texture of your grass.

I also remember, several years ago, a macro of function or something had 
been made to render the most realistic grass I had ever seen on povray, 
and it was very much optimised as it was (i think) one of the fastest 
methods...  lemme search...
