Greetings.

What tricks, rules and hints do you know to optimize a complex or any other)
scene in order to prevent unneccessary slowing down of the rendering?

In fact, I have a complex scene in which I have a union (of cylinders and
sphere) being inside a big cylinder (which I made of a difference of a big
with a small cylinder or through an intersection with a big cylinder).
However, that slows down so much.

Let me show you the part of my scene which seems to slows down.

Sven
