I've been working on optimizing MegaPov.

Here are features that caused slowdown even when not in use:
* motion blur (it wasn't too bad, but even a little bit is bad)
* uv mapping - this was the worst
* dispersion
* reflection blur

There are other factors that are also affecting the speed, but I haven't
tracked them all down yet.  So far, I've fixed motion blur and uv mapping,
and I'll be fixing the others soon.  The next version of MegaPov will be
significantly faster.
