It's fast if that's render + parse time, I think so anyhow.
I realize now that it isn't just made up of a zero-sided box and a single
triangle as I first thought, silly me.  But I still don't understand anything
about eval_pigment yet.  I'll get around to it someday though.
If you have this ready to animate (or not) I'm sure it would look fantastic if
it were.
