If you make a simple and pointless merge like

merge{
  box { -1, 1  }
  sphere { y, 1 }
  bounded_by { cylinder { -y, 2*y, sqrt(2)} }
}

and trace it:
-------------------------------------------------
Box               957             504     52.66
Cone/Cylinder     957             957    100.00
CSG Merge         957             684     71.47
Sphere            957             448     46.81
Bounding Object   957             957    100.00
Bounding Box    78450            1914      2.44
-------------------------------------------------
the stats show intersection tests against a bounding object and a bounding
box. Why the bbox when the shape is already bounded manually?
