This is the new, improved, super speedy version. Many thanks to Peter Popov,
POV-er extraordinaire, for solving the optimization mystery. Don't use the
last version, it's lame. This one is acceptable.

I think you're right. In some cases it's much, much faster, but not always.

Regards,
Dave

In which cases will it render faster? I've got a PIII 600 with 256 MB ram...

Try putting these in the command line (or INI file):

+mb0 +su +ur +ul +uv

If this does not work well enough, try using -ur instead of +ur.

*blush*

"POV-er extraordinaire"?! Let the facts speak, I failed to write a
random stone wall macro when I tried, and you didn't :)

BTW I ran into the same problem with degenerate bounding boxes as you
have, I'll try to debug it tomorrow (I'm studying for an exam at the
moment).

Did you try Mike Williams' suggestion about the mortar?
