Wow - that was faster.  379ms for 1K triangles. Much much improved - so
much so that I don't think I'll need to optimize further for now. (Revised
code attached incase anyone wants to use it.)

Thanks for your tip - I *should* have thought of that myself, don't know
why I just made it more complex to begin with. Anyways, thanks!
