It doesn't take 1000, that's just a giant number I put in. You can stop whenever you want (acceptable noise levels)

You can also reduce the resolution.

Good to know. How many iterations did you use to generate the images on github?

Most of them rendered on the order of ~30 minutes. The gopher I ran overnight, although it really only needed about 2 hours to get really good quality. Keep in mind these durations are for large resolutions.

Do you have any observations about the performance of Go?
