So, after fiddling with matrix-transformations, angle-
calculations and resolution tests, I've found that
calculating a 512x384 Pixel screen (two triangles
per pixel) takes 10 and a half minutes just to check
for each pixel a ray-intersection with a sphere to
color the sphere... Doing even more elaborate calculations
of normals, shading etc in order to get the color-bleeding
effect the human eye has when viewing bright objects
would take even more time, and for larger images...

Ah well. I'll produce the code anyway. I actually wanted
it to just create color-bleeding for highlights, not just
bright objects, as a Paint-Program would do. Experiments
will have to be conducted on 80x60 pixel images... :-)
