This seems an awful lot of components.  I suppose it means the randomness causes
such lumpiness as to prevent a smoother surface.  What if a very thin font with
very little depth were used, shouldn't that help?  And then with large enough
sphere components it could be better for that.  Although this clumped appearance
is very good, I guess it's the efficiency people would seek more often.
