-0.1, 0.1 renders even faster! ;)

Like you, I don't know how much of the shape is of interest - I just 
kept bumping up the container until I got bored with the 
render-speed/max_gradient (I have a vague theory that as long as the mg 
keeps increasing, you haven't reached the de facto boundary of the 
shape's interest - but this based on intuition rather than knowledge).

As you say - it's hard to know what shape is expected....
