Thanks!

For the images I posted: between 20 minutes to 1 & 1/2 hours on three 
2.4GHz cores. To see the specific render times, check out the names of 
the image files. I've appended the render times like so: hr_min_sec, or 
min_sec.

Isosurfaces are almost always slow, but these render times are 
encouraging. I tried to keep the function as well-behaved as possible. 
As a result, most of objects require only a low max_gradient--between 
0.5 to 1.0--which is better than you could normally expect from any 
function.
