Greg, can that 3D model of the NY Times be made accessible to us?

Jack suggests a good trick.  I've often resorted to mkillum with  
challenging exteriors setting -aa 0 for the mkillum process, then  
switching the cache back on for the interior renderings (as needed).   
This is what we did on the New York Times model (sponsored by NYSERDA).
