Its been rendering for about 9 hours and 10 minutes now, and its rendering
line 331 of 768 at abut 10 pixels per second.

Even at this resolution and high AA, there are some issues.  The lines
between windoww disappear sometimes at the tops of buildings.  Plus, I think
the windows are too bumpy.

I went ahead and attached a screenshot of the current progress.
