Also, is there a way to speed this up? Right now it's stuck at 6% of the 
mosaic phase for an hour. I don't recall UberPOV being this slow. :(

#declare BlurAmount = 0.2*2; // Amount of blurring, double BlurAmount 
since it's used in an average
//#declare BlurSamples = 40; // How many rays to shoot
#declare BlurSamples = 10; // How many rays to shoot
#macro BlurredReflection(InPigment, InFinish, InNormal)
//	texture
//	{
		average
		texture_map
		{
			#declare iCount = 0;
			#declare S = seed(0);
			#while (iCount < BlurSamples)
				[
					1 // The pigment of the object:
					pigment { InPigment }
					// The surface finish:
					finish { InFinish }
					// This is the actual trick:
					normal
					{
						average
						normal_map
						{
							[1 bumps BlurAmount translate <rand(S),rand(S),rand(S)>*100 scale 
1000]
							[1 InNormal]

				#declare iCount = iCount + 1;
