<!--
  On a 2.93 gHz iMac i7, I get these rates with -delay 0:

    detail 3:  invisible
    detail 4:  barely visible
    detail 5:  1000+ fps, looks like noise at -delay 0, ok at -delay 20000
    detail 8:  ~700+ fps
    detail 9:  ~400 fps
    detail 10: ~300 fps
    detail 11: ~100 fps
    detail 12:  ~50 fps
    detail 13:  ~17 fps
    detail 14:   ~8 fps
    detail 15:   ~2 fps

  With the default -delay, CPU load only starts causing the frame rate
  to drop below 30 fps detail 12 or higher.

Clouds of iterated function systems spin and collide.

Note that the "Detail" parameter is exponential.  Number of points
drawn is functions^detail.
