Well, actual /render/ time wasn't that bad, it was about 4 hours total for all
frames, and then only because I had radiosity settings cranked WAY up.
But the /parse/ time was murder (brute force and all, which is I why I waited
until I was out of town for several days ;). It was about 10 hours parsing for
the first 9 frames, and 70 hours parsing the final one (ouch!).
But, since I wrote the position & radius of each sphere to include files, the
parsing only had to be done once :)
