   Me too... I didn't talk with Koppi yet about it, but I think it would
be a good idea to test if removing the editor improves speed. If so, an
option to disable, or at least "freeze", the editor during simulation
would be very helpful for complex scripts.

   You have it into your mailbox already... and as Ive pointed out,
Poseray can extract lights from an HDRI. I never tried it for that, and
should do some day.
