Indeed. I've just tried a quickie, but the results are a little
inconclusive.

A basic trefoil knot with 25,000 meshes
Parse: 0.75mins
Peak mem: 46,912,657 bytes

Two of the above, 50,000 meshes
Parse: 4.5mins
Peak mem: 132,811,445 bytes

Three of the above, 75,000 meshes
Parse: 12.5mins
Peak mem: 172,211,521 bytes

The parse times are probably jumping because the memory runs out (128MB),
but the overall memory usage is a bit of a mystery. I shall experiment
further.

Bill
