That would be great. In which timezome are you? I am in GMT-5, Eastern
Canada/USA timezone.

Honestly, I am getting close to finishing my Masters (still maybe one
or two weeks coding and then I'll finish writing my thesis) because I
will probably start working soon. Also, since the goal of my Masters
is not to get something really fast, but to see if I can prove my
hypotheses, any acceleration of the intersection testing will be an
added bonus, but not essential.
So what I'm thinking is that I'll test out your changes, see if they
work well. If I have trouble I'll have to evaluate if I have the time
to investigate now or just go on without it and work on it after my
Masters is done.
That being said, I'm very hopeful, because right now it's really
painfully slow! :-)

I currently only do intersection tests as a preprocess, so the fps
does not depend on the intersection testing. In one case I have a
scene where I need to do about 4 million intersection tests as a
preprocess, and this takes about 200 seconds (a little over 3 minutes,
or about 20000 intersections per second). Of course, the
IntersectionVisitor uses the bounding sphere/box hierarchy to avoid
doing ray/tri tests when they are sure to be negative, so it is not
20000 ray/tri intersections per second. But that gives you an idea of
my current situation.
For some upcoming experiments I expect I will have to do much more
intersections (up to about 100 million) and I will soon integrate some
intersection testing at runtime (not as a preprocess, but decoupled
from visualization) so the added speed you speak of will _really_ be
appreciated!
Thanks in advance, I look forward to trying out your changes
J-S
