I had a lot of trouble getting that page to load in my browser. Could
you please explain what this is, and how to use it?

Thanks,
Glen Berry

I probably should have phrased my original post better. I *did*
finally see the page, but it took several attempts before the page
managed to load. I just wanted to make that known to the author, for
whatever it was worth.

Secondly, even after viewing the page, I was left with many questions.
I wondered if the author would mind elaborating on the use of his
patch. (And yes, I know this patch is not intended to be useful for
most end-users of POV-Ray.)

Later,

It will be interesting to see tests with raytrace accelerators.
I mean: BF( brute force ) vs. BSP vs. OCTTREE vs. ABVH vs.USP( uniform space
partition) etc.

I'll try to make new object, invisible for users,
which will manage with them ( objects ) using above named or other else
acceleration.
