Thanks. =)

Did you use pov code for your system? If so, I'd really like to see it. :)

It took 5 mins on an 1400 MHz Athlon XP, which I consider slow, this
thing should be possible realtime on my machine. :) The five mins is a
guess, I did't even check.

System: In every "row", every second node is connected as well as the
adjacent ones, and every "sub-cube" has an X of springs on its sides.
The slowness is due to silly code (this is my first ever try at stuff 
like this) and overkill (?) precision (20 steps/frame).
