OK, since the thread was moved here, I answer here to the question of
Marco Radojcic who asked to attack
the most time consuming action such as ray tracking and fluid baking. In
the past, at the time of the
regression in rendering time, we also did some profile, about what were
the most time consuming functions during
a typical render, and here was a result:

(https://blender.mindrones.com/code/benchmark)

As you can see the first 7 functions consume more than 90% of the total
time during a rendering...

Bye
Giuseppe.
