I'm confused. Are you saying a macro that was translated into C code and
compiled wouldn't parse the same size arrays much faster? I know that's not
true. I've done a limited bit of 2D and 3D array coding in C and parsed
larger arrays, written in text, translated to floats, doing more complex
math much faster than POV is parsing the HF_ macros.
Where is the slow down coming from?
Why wouldn't a compiled pluggin go much faster than an interpreted macro?
