Thanks, Willy, for this very informative article... I discovered many things
(among them, Syncedit that looks VERY interesting - how did I miss its
announcement???).

Here you had a favorable situation with mostly flat surfaces. Similarly I
reduced the size of 59349 by 96%... It is much more difficult for parts such as
47844 (http://www.ldraw.org/cgi-bin/ptdetail.cgi?f=parts/47844.dat) with high
resolution curved surface.

Are they really? Case in point, 55615 part. Check this image, showing rendering
of LEGO Universe Project file and a photo of the real part
(http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Philo/Misc/55615.jpg). See the differences in
center pinhole collars and orientation of pins...
