It shouldn't take *that* long to parse, it may actually be done parsing 
and busy working on light buffers. If it takes too long or runs out of 
memory, try turning off light buffers. Or maybe you made a mistake in 
modifying the code...it will take a very long time to find random points 
in a 5-unit sphere when you use random points from a 1000-unit box.
