There is another approach. While I was experimenting on LDraw animations, I had another LDraw directory in which I have
removed all lines ending with stu*.dat. Thus I has a much faster rendering for preview purposes.
Now, I'm not suggesting that we should remove all studs from Datsville - far be it from me - but we could remove the
insides and bottom studs of say all basic bricks.
I know there are some buts, but I think it could be worth a try.
