However, you should avoid naming things "C" and "D", since those names stand for objects already built into Mathematica. In fact, didn't you notice that running your code gives Shadowing warning messages? I know I shouldn't name globals "C" or "D", and I try to avoid it, but isn't Mathematica now sophisticated enough to allow localized variables "C" and "D" as long as they don't have the same form as the functions? I.e., it allows "overloading" of those symbols. At any rate, I'll see if avoiding that speeds things up. Meanwhile, my guess is that using lists of functions in ParametricPlot3D is the main source of the slow-down, so I'm rewriting the curves as regular one-item functions. > > On 1/19/12 5:13 AM, Chris Young wrote: >> I'm wondering if there's anyway I can speed this up.
