Now before I set you off to make a macro just for me: would that mean that
if I use it to make a floor B ten time the size of another floor A, the code
to parse will also be ten times larger?
Maybe I was thinking of a texture rather, like the 'flagstone' texture, but
then giving a result like I described. That would not increase the number of
objects, I understand?
A macro is something I can imagine of what it is doing; a texture is beyond
my grasp...

Hmmmm. <Thinking....> I'm not sure. Don't think so though.
In my current scene I'm using my uneven floor macro to create
two sidewalks. One is 15 units by 15 units and one is a couple of hundred.
They both parse almost instantaneously.
I have no idea how to create a texture for what you want. I tend to use
objects to create paved floors and walls as I have better control. That or a
height field.
btw. My current scene has 5000 objects (four walls, two sections of paved
floor and
a distant city) Parse time 1 minute, render 3 minutes.
If you would like to try a macro, I'll write one up when I get bored at
work.

Yeah, the mortar's a little thick in spots. Side-effect of the
method, I'm afraid, for which I have no easy solution. But it's
not all that implausible for paving stones to have varying mortar
thickness.

A strenuous activity designed to prevent one from becoming a computer chair
potato. Also encourages making friends who don't know the meaning of
max_trace_level and bezier patches. Useful for releaving the urges to
decapitate the boss when overtime interfears with rendering time.
(In case you're wondering what sport, I practice Aikido)

Your post made me think that incase I ever need to go out of the house
I need to have some way of knowing if my render has finished so that
I can come back inside sharply.
Currently looking for a phone dialer (and hopefully something that
can send text messages to my mobile phone) so that my machine can
tell me when it's ready for some more punishment.
