The render time was obviously quite long due to the glass and photons, but 
they are still fairly simple objects.  Unfortunatly I didn't take down the 
stats.  With only six spheres the simulation time wasn't a factor.  I was 
running many tests with the spheres to lathe object collisions the other 
night using regular textures.  It was getting late and I had to go to bed 
and tried to think of a way to "spice" up the animation so that it would 
work all night.  So I took the lighting, glass and photon setup I used in 
"The Orange Pill" and added normal pertubation to the spheres.  I got up 
late so didn't have time to check where it was, but it was done when I got 
back home the next day.  I guesstimate it must have taken around 12 hours.
