Curiously, the outside=tdis setting is the cause of the 1-1/2 hour render time. When calculated with outside=iter, the image renders in 4 minutes. I have no idea why the <tdis> option should take over 20 times as long to render as the normal <iter> method.
That is because the outside=tdis (and fmod) option causes Fractint to switch to the C code, instead of using the assembly code. Jonathan
