Actually, I recently replaced several thousands of randomly placed spheres in
some scene with blobs, not for "blobification" but just for speedup. Seems like
the internal bounding of blobs is significantly more effective than the standard
boxing approach.

But that may also differ depending on other circumstances; for instance, those
spheres were scattered quite sparsely about, so the main load was not to
compute intersection points, but to verify that no intersection points had to
be computed in the first place.
