I just fiinished test with 5 passes:
- not optimized scene
- pattern instead of pigment
- scale instead of multiplications
- functions inlined completly and directly in isosurface
- all optimizations together
and difference was ~0.2% which can be just task priority issue. I think none
of my advices is valid for current release. There must be nice optimizations.
