here it is:

texture { T_Chrome_5A normal { crackle 0.05 scale 0.25 } }

(maybe i should make rounded edges on the faces of the bold heads
to make the highlights work properly)

i changed the shamfered thread into a smooth parabole.
the thread ege is now also higlighted.
also rounded some of the edges of the boldheads and nuts.

I realized that using many functions in min( , ) and max( , )
will result in eash finction being calculated, and then only one will be
used.
I added 2 levels of select(z-.., f_a, f_b) to split the function into the
4 parts but this was only 1.5 times faster.
i now have 4 seperate iso surfaces, witch seems to be mutch faster, and
i can also lower the max_gradient and accuracy for parts that are mostly
flat.
