I'm glad you think it's pretty! It might be slow at the moment but it'll get
faster. I'd rather it worked and was slow, than was broken and fast :-)

I certainly know that my Mandelbrot fractal generator is horrendously
slow... but it does get quicker the more computers you add, which is a
start!

If anyone out there has taken a look at it and has any suggestions then I'm
all ears. I'm currently trying to think of a good way to profile it for
bottle necks.
