Speaking strictly of v3.6.1: I've lately noticed that some of my own complex
scenes render *much* faster when setting Bounding=off. I never thought of
trying that trick, and just stumbled onto it. But it does show some kind of
problem/deficiency with auto-bounding. Clipka mentioned in a recent post that
bounding in 3.7 has been re-worked; so perhaps that's one of the reasons for
the speedup.
