I think we need to make a compromise between a very large number of fine 
hairs (= very heavy data file) and fewer, somewhat thicker hairs (= 
smaller data file). I have been mainly exploring the latter option, 
which implies the search for a convincing hair texture.

Here is an example, with a 300+Mb data file and a simple grey pigment.
