I'm not sure why, but transparent blobs seem to take an extremely long 
time to render. Maybe something to do with the ray origin being inside 
or close to a surface of the blob...
Thousands of blob objects? Should be just one blob, unless you had 
multiple particle systems. I suppose you meant "components".

If you mean the particle_system patch, yes, it is in MegaPOVPlus. It's 
available on my web site, though it has been improved over the version 
on the web site, and the demo files are even more outdated.
