============================================================
So every loops is slower and slower. Now, my original script is more
complicated, and when it reaches 100th frame the single loop takes half a
minute to finish compared to half a second after the first loop. Can someone
suggest what is wrong with the above code, and how to avoid this time
aggregation on every loop?
Thanks
