Somehow, I am snowed under by all the messages on miscellaneous subjects 
lately (and other matters) that I must have missed your contribution. :-/

I added the granite_21 texture and got this. Indeed, the mesh is as 
smooth as the earlier/heavier ones.

So, what does it say about the /need/ for POV-Ray use of such a 'heavy' 
mesh? I guess that for most cases we could do with less. It is a pity 
that Poseray does not allow for simplifying meshes, only subdividing it 
further (afaik).
