Well, that was one of the uses I was thinking of, using blob components 
in the pattern to represent particles and using the whole thing in a 
media density.

The isosurfaces using this pattern were actually fairly fast rendering, 
especially when compared to some other patterns. It is one of the few 
patterns that works fine as-is instead of mostly being useful as a 
displacement pattern. Still, with media, even with method 2 or 3...I 
guess it depends on the size of your animation.
