Hi there,
The OpenSCAD progress bar does not have a xxx/1000 on a mac like it does on
windows. It would be nice if it did, in fact is there a way to provide some
form of feedback. I recently waited 56 hours for a model not to render, the
progress bar was stuck about 30% of the way along. In other instances it
gets most of the way along and stops. I'm guessing it is running up and down
some trees somewhere, but it would be nice if there was a status window
progress could actually be reported into, or the progress bar scaled
accordingly.
It much know how many tasks and sub-tasks need doing, and I'd be gutted if I
was 8 seconds away from the 56 hour render just completing.

Yeah, I've not done large renders, but I've notice that it is worse in the
new RC than in the last.

This is a known issue:
https://github.com/openscad/openscad/issues/810
It’s hard to properly fix as we use a library which keeps us in the dark for a long time.
56 hours is a bit brutal - optimizing this is high on the wishlist too..

Do you think the low performance is intrinsic to this type of problem, or is
a problem with the library?

I’m pretty sure that the library (CGAL) doesn’t optimize this problem properly.
