Yes yes. Having to do with a looks_like object. But since then, I've noticed a
render time difference re: bounding (in 3.6.1), even without that object. Some
of it due to the area_light itself, but some that I can't account for. In any
case, 3.7 seems to have an improved auto-bounding scheme, if I read your notes
correctly. Which is good news!
