I wanted to emboss a picture on a surface from a picture. I did so, but the performance is very poor (around 30x30 takes hours, 176x110 has taken 36 hours so far). I'm doing it by creating a box for each pixel then fusing them all together. Sure, there are 20K boxes (well, 40K since I have to do it ...

I'll keep it in the back of my mind the next time I need that sort of...
