Great work.  What is default floating point type used by OCaml
compiler?  I got running time of about 36s for scene level 3 on
Pentium3 machine and running time of about 25s when all references to
"double" type in C++ code changed to "float" (and float is usually
"good enough" for ray tracing)...

Regards,
Alex
