In the meantime I found out that I can easily avoid my speed-problems
be using fog of type 0 rather than of type 1.
Hmm... you are right that number _is_ high, but I want to create an
Island which is not too small and has som amount of forest on it.
Do you think it would be better/faster to group a number of trees into
one shape (i.e. combining them in Blender already) so that the number
of Valumes is reduced?
