OK, as an example, here's what I get after commenting out area lights, sky
sphere, and a not-very-complex wall object.  Is it typical to have the
bounding box(es) take such a high percentage? (I really don't understand
what I'm seeing here)

"Hear, hear!" re: your call for a comprehensible section of documentation on
interpreting these!!
Thanks!
