I've note something else using the approx density method.

The computing seems to crash above ~130 millions points, it doesn't really crash as the process is seen "no answer" but consume a tiny CPU power around 6/7%. But it stoods for hours so I stoped it.

Does CC has a limit in points for computing ?

Hum, there's always a limit which depends on the computer memory... If it's full, then Windows may start to swap and any process with take ages (without consuming much CPU power, as the time is mostly spent on 'swapping').

But generally you wouldn't hit this limit on a standard PC before several hundreds of million points...

Very unlikely as I got a 128GB RAM PC. I will watch for this nevertheless, thx.
